My latest podcast (internet radio show) tells you how to answer those idiot friends of yours who make fun of you because you waste your time digging up pennies in an age where the minimum wage will soon be over $7.00 an hour.

Listen now at http://thetreasurecorner.com. Just click the pink button and the show will play on your computer.

You sound like a hoot Dan, and a lot like I will end up as when I hit retirement age. I had a radio show when I was in college. I celebrated World Aids Day by playing nothing but four hours of songs about sex while throwing bags of condoms (with instructions) out of the window of my booth at passersby...of course, it was also the day the college had prospective students and their parents visiting. I used to make couple of bucks a day coin shooting at tot lots and kiddie parks. My daughter liked it because she PMCSed the playground equipment.
 

My daughter went detecting with me last week end and we only made about .25 cents a hour. A long way from minimum wage but we did have fun.....Matt
 

I enjoy the excitement of not knowing what is next.
 

My grandson is running the detector and doing the digging . Exuberant 8 year old with good knees and back and the innocence of youth .
Pappy provides the ride and the encouragement as well as some history of the 1800's sites we go to .
 

Metal detecting is a hobby that can pay for itself if you do some research before swinging the detector. If I expect minimum wage out of it then i would retire because it would be to much like work for what I get back from it. Detecting is a sport type hobby for me that gives me a thrill when I find silver coins or a gold nugget.

This is a well paid hobby that is fun. It is NOT a boring minimum wage job from nine to five. I have my own hours and no boss to tell me that I'm over paid for what I do.

Minimum wage: Payment to a person that can't figure out what to do in life for themself.
