50 started in my 30's but have always wanted to since I was a youngster and saw old timers at the one room school I went to searching the grounds.

I am 30. My son who accompanies me is 10. He got a metal detector from his grandfather for this past Christmas and then I bought my own bout a month later. He can't swing his for long periods of time yet so I do most swinging with my uMax and he does most digging and works the pro-pointer. Teamwork.

average age huh?
well I am 61, so if I divide 61/ 61 I suppose my average age is 1
somehow that seems odd
