I turned 53 last weekend. I started 3 years ago.
The next door neighbor boy got a dectector in about 1972... we were both 8 years old. We dug holes all over our yards for a couple of days, then the parents took the metal detecotr away and hid it! I think that they got us a go kart next, that also got taken away shortly there after. I wonder what ever happened to all the cool stuff that got taken away...

Glad I found this thread so I didn’t need to start one. Looks like the average is "little kids to seasoned citizens!"
Im still a newbie at 68 with only seven months under by coils, but having more fun than I should be allowed to have ...according to "she who must be obeyed!"
