I dug up about 13 dollas in a few hours at a park one day. I want to buy some ag. I can't find a job so I'm trying to metal detect a bunch of change. So realistically how much do you think I could detect in about 8 hours? Would the money supply dry out fast even if its a pretty busy park?

LMAO

If you have no job and would be satisfied with $100 a week after 30-40 hours detecting why not put an ad in Craigslist or the local paper offering to do odd jobs for $5 per hour and double your money?

I have been detecting for over 40 years. I get UP weeks and DOWN weeks. If you are depending on detecting to make a living, you aren't setting your sights high enough! Your family deserves better. I have paid for my equipmemt a few times over but NOT enough to even consider making it a business. Besides, if I HAD to detect everyday, eight hours a day, it would be too much like work and I would HATE it! As long as I keep detecting in perspective, it will remain a life-long pleasure. TTC
