I'm a bit surprised by this demographic, too. I thought there would be many more CRHers on the right side of the bell curve and fewer on the left. I am LI (sorry, I mean 51. I'll never get the hang of those damn Arabic numerals!) and have vivid memories of watching Neil Armstrong take that "small step" as well as wondering why the guy on that new science fiction program had pointy ears and never smiled. Anyway, one thing I've learned is that the older you get, the older "old" gets, so take it as it comes or rage against the dying of the light, whichever you prefer. The second thing I've learned is "old guys rule".

HH, and Happy Birthday Agme!

RAGE!

I am lying by around 1-2 years (plus or minus)

I am 17 years old - i cant drive yet
oh how much I love this :P
the licence age is 16, and you're lying by 1-2 years. if you can't yet drive its never a plus, so it's a minus. 15 is the age, and nice to meet you, person in my age category!

Average is 36 with the most frequently occurring age being 30. I am a math and statistics professor. Of course the people in this hobby are pretty smart since we realize that buying a coin for 0.50 that's worth $10 is an amazing profit (just wished it happened a little more often). The curve is definitely skewed with the young people dominating. Here is the histogram:
10-19=10
20-29=12
30-39=16
40-49=6
50-59=9
60-69=7
I am 43 (the minority age in this forum). Very interesting.

I was wondering people's ages as well as the average bank roll they use to hunt with. I mean how big a roll you need to search 25k worth of halves a week.

You also have to take into account the element of self identification.

Would be a lot of junk in the D :). Perhaps up north or west by Howell would be a good spot. Or even the metro beaches

Yikes! It looks like most of you will be funding my Social Security. Guess I'll be working a lot longer than I planned. I'm 58.
