Cool Hand Fluke said:I wish I could get out more than one day a week. I'm holding down a 40 hour a week job, so I'm pretty busy. Even with not enough time I still managed my 27 silver coin for 2012 that I found yesterday!

Pablo,I've pushed 8,that mattress feels awful good them nights!!!!!!!!!DigImust said:Like Chris, I'm mostly retired so I get out and pound the turf when weather permits. Around here, it can change in a heartbeat. I'm swinging an E-trac now, so the added weight limits my time to about 4-5 hrs a day.

goldentruth said:Hey there Chukers: I have been hitting areas 2 to 3 times durring the week while my 3 boys are in school.
Now with my new upgrade (A real gold detector,"Finally") a Whites Goldmaster GMT E-Series, I talked 2 of my boys to spend a day with me. My older vintage Tesoro is still a great Coin Machine with on or off discriminate and accept or reject all metal, it is still worth keeping even though I would have to be on top of a good size nugget to find that kind of target/hit. Now I can hit the many small "pickers" nuggets the miners of old left behind including the common 4,5,6 grain and up. I got my jars ready!
I'm glad you have this poll going, it's interesting to see how much people enjoy the hobby, Thanks.
TheOldMan said:Chucker's - you left the gold fields behind you but I hope there is treasure in your area. I try to detect at least five days out of a week depending on how my old bones are holding up. I view coinshooting as my exercise program.....detecting out doors as my church....and finding a pile of junk as my helping the environment, my green program.
Michigan Badger said:It depends on your definition of "hunting." If by that you mean metal detecting then I go about once a year. If you mean searching the stock market, online auctions both rich and poor, and always looking down when I walk.....that's every hour at least.
I found a $5 bill this morning.
