Primary Interest:
Beach & Shallow Water Hunting
just wondering what type of equipment I should come up with & where to take it.

kinda thinking a farm (with crops) might actually be more profitable, as ppl start to understand the amount of poison at local stores.

any thoughts? :)

or start a travelling magic and freak show, big $$$ if you have a bearded female relative or a talking turd.........
 
Maybe start by buying a house or two in your city. I understand you can get a 3 bed 2 bath for about $2500 around Woodward and McNickle.

maybe start a raffle on what they'll end up doing with detroit? seems like the agencies are trying to start riots, to bring in troops and clean the small time bad guys out, though there aren't enough ppl to care... bringing a supermarket to detroit would be the first step to fixing it. i could teach the values of comedic class, how we're all being murdered, or how to butcher an unknown language. or explain the chem'd retard generation. you know they taught from/gave us the exact MEAP test months beforehand, and schools all over the state still couldn't pass the damn thing? i cant remember what i read or someone said 30 seconds ago, though i'm diabetic with heart problems from hydrogenated/mono&dyglycerides/canola/bpa/hfcs/msg. mental issues are msg/aluminum/whatever shampoo poisons.
i think there was a point somewhere. ~shrugs. what would you do with $10k? thinking about going to lake superior with a gold cube, or maybe looking into dredging which seems to move alot more material... though maybe not so well with black sand? play with a trommel/wash plant?
 
The only thing that can help detroit is detroiters but that wont happen so since I spent enough time in that city I think paving it over would be a better option. Take the 10k and move somewhere you can get a good job and see a future.

Are you asking for investing ideas? If so...try the "investment" forum.......however, if I were a kid who had managed to work and save $10k.......I'd probably grab a good accountant and just keep working and saving and set my sights on, "50 & out".
 
Just come on down to Sarasota,Bring your 10k and i will get you started, :tongue3:
 
i would probably just keep working/saving with 'normal' means, if we didn't have this upcoming devaluation of $. putting it into something physical, land or equipment, seems like the best option. you guy did notice some of the banks giving you double the amount if you keep $ in the bank for a year? whats special about sarasosa? black sands in michigan seem a little more interesting to me atm, though the permit/rules i haven't made sense of.
 
Investing in equipment this day and age is a loss. Almost all forms of equipment are continuously upgraded, and new replacement equipment is put on the market at a monthly rate. Heavy equipment usually takes longer to be outdated, but anything with a technical side, computers, metal detectors, etc... lose value the minute you buy them because there is already a newer better version coming to the market.

Land investments, not sure about your area, sounds like you could sit on land there for quite awhile before it shows a growth in price. Current home, land values all over the US are way down, my house was $230k when I bought it several years ago, the guy down the street from me bought a slightly smaller house a couple years ago but same basic structure for $120k and since he was a first time home buyer the government paid a good portion of that. The question is how long before the house values go back up again? Most likely a few years.

undeveloped land, that is getting harder and harder to buy, and the value is still up higher than I would like to see before I bought, I think the price will still drop on undeveloped land as not very many companies are building at the moment, and those that are pretty much are doing it on credit, credit that they will fall over if the building they are doing doesn't sell.

Gold, silver? I'm not sure I have read reports stating it will still go up, and I have read statements saying it's peaking and will drop as some as some rich guy sitting on a lot of it floods the market again.

Believe in the upcoming Armageddon theories, you might invest in guns and ammo, or preserved foods, and drinking water. Maybe a cabin deep in the woods and a tin foil hat.
 
Get a good tractor plow cultivator and a wheel harrow and you'll be in business. Just don't buy the land, lease it other wise you pay taxes and the GOVT already get's enough! Remember to diversify your crops especially root crops for sale in the winter to keep a steady income. and don't forget to mount your detector on the back of the tractor for the bonus income from the finds you'll make as you toil over the land. Also make sure you grow organic, as people pay more for organic produce, and it's better for the environment. Depending on how big your operation is you might want to get some bee hives to pollinate the crops also to increase production and yield. But be careful because they can sting and that hurts. I hope that helped HH :icon_thumright: :dontknow:
I hope you grow 500,000,000,000,01 carrots !!!

rude sarcastic ? crikey mate it was only a light hearted observation on a confusing post, and really if you did lay a turkey and it talked to you it would be at least worth as much as a chicken nugget that looks like George Washington?
