how old is everyone here?

daveycleaning · Oct 25, 2005

hey guys i was just wondering hot old everyone is because i am just getting into TH and i have found that a lot of people are older. Which is cool because of the experience but i was wondering why there is not very many younger people like me. I am 20 years old. just thought it would be interesting!

just turned 54 July 2nd. Just starting out MD'ing. So far so good. love it. Funny thing, I've learned more about browsing the internet and using search engines than I knew before getting a MD.

the research is at least half of the fun.

I'm old enough that I get tired after swinging an Explorer II for just two hours. Of course it could be the sholder surgery slowing me down or maybe it just that it is SO FREAKING HOT! out there this time of year. Who knows for sure. I will be the big 5 0 in about 20 days.

31 in 10 more days. Serious for probably about 4 years now i think and will continue just as long as can still swing the coils.

Can't beat the hobby and can always learn something new.

I am 50.
Started detecting in 1978.
One day that year my boss at the pizza place I was working came with a whites detector and a few rings he had found at a lake beach.
I used my first paycheck to buy a piece of crap detector.
I have been hooked ever since.

to quote Kris Kringle in "Miracle On 34th Street"

I'm as old as my gums and a little older than my teeth.
(he never actually said it but it was written on his application to be the department store santa.....always found that line to be funny)

to be more exact though....39

An old saying from down South...

"I'm old enough to eat cornbread and not get choked !"

Actually i'm 41 years young.
I can work all day and not get tired or hungry !!
( I quit before i get tired and eat before i get hungry !!)

When i was 18 i thought i knew 10 times what i know now ! ::)

I know karate', ju-jitsu, kung-fu, tae kwando, and about 6 other Japanese words !!

I am 65 and I got my first detector, a BFO about 1968. I've had a detector of some sort all along. My current model is a Tracker IV and is the first one that actually paid for itself.
