You got your mind free of the outside world for a while & you got in some good physical exercise, which is always a good thing. Something ventured,
something gained. CHEERS !!

Sometimes you kick the booty,sometimes you get the booty kicked. Nice anyhow.

The way I think about it is....if you didn't have the occasional " crap" day of detecting, then you wouldn't appreciate those amazing days! Here's to more amazing days! Cheers!

That's reward right there, forget about the world for a few hours. The finds are just the cherry on the cake.
Though not getting a keeper sometimes just kind of sucks when ya need that itch scratched.

I used to think about that when detecting many years ago, now I only think about that when Fishing...lol (can't remember our last 'crap' day) But it took years of permission gaining & very skilled choices throughout the farming seasons.

They talk about bringing more people into the hobby. By doing this it reduces your chance of finds. I guess i am being GREEDY !!

I think you mean Scrappies, which a bunch of those is far from a Crappy day.... ;-)
Yes, I have good fishing days... (Although I consider myself a Detectorist, not so much a fisherman any more, although I'm increasing my hours fishing these past couple of years, it just work gets in the way)
