What keeps you going?

[mastereagle22]

I have been back at this hobby for 2 years now and recently pulled out my "treasures" to see what I have brought home that would be considered good finds. I was suprised how the stuff I found that I thought was good at the time actually turned out (most of the time) to just be stuff. The finds that I valued the most had no actual cash value, no collectible value but were finds I had found on a night hunting with my buddy Baldingboy that we had a LOT of fun detecting. Wether it was because the dingo almost ate me, or the multiple dirt clods that were tossed or the crazy idea of detecting in 20 degree weather with a strong wind and sleet pounding down on us. The friendship of a hunting partner has made all my experiences so much more rewarding.

There have been dry spells for me while hunting and I still have yet to find ONE thing that would make a person stop and go WOW now that is a great find!!! But every time I decide to give it all up and go back to sitting on the couch watching TV and vegging out I remember the fun times I have had when I was hunting with others, and especially Baldingboy. He has become a truer friend than I have had in a long time. And no this isn't broke back detecting. Friendship, good times with the bad, that is what keeps me going in this hobby.

So what keeps you going?

The excercise is good for the joints and the fact that you never know what you are going to find next.

I do it because it gives me pleasure: the pleasure of being out of doors in the wind and sun; the pleasure of dive and experiencing new places and new things; and the pleasure of the find (if there is one). Life is short - I try to find pleasure in each moment....

What keeps me going? The thought that there will be plenty of time to rest when I get laid down in the box.

Sumpin to do besides going to work all the time. I tend to be a loner and I like being out in the air.
But my favorite part? Summertime water hunting at freshwater lakes beaches.

I learn something new each time I go out, and get this.... it's fun to go detecting.

Yeah, because it is fun! It is just plain fun!

Just the thought that a Wheat, Merc, SLQ, or silver half is only a few inches under the surface waiting for me to find it.

......That's what keeps me going.

Pure stubborness, faith, hope, all that.

Since I can't find older coins I have to settle for gold and diamonds.

The thought of being able to be out doors having a blast!

My motto is "It's like Christmas everytime you dig a target! You never know if you'll get a shiny new bike or underware!"

 

[gametalman52]

Because ya' just never know!!

What keeps me going? When all those old-timers try to tell me that a site has been detected dry.

That's gotta be #1 And even funnier is you trying to keep a straight face until the old boy walks away!

The opportunity to unearth the History that has been laying there waiting for someone with respect to show what time era it came from and what story is behind it. I detect only for the chance to show others the items that has been forgotton and the historical value.
My favorite class in School was History and i hope to never leave the lessons.
