Metal detecting, a hobby for life

[49er12]

History, small word big meaning. We tend to forget or care less about centuries ago. I hear that was then, who cares, I’m to busy, it’s stupid and has no significance. Well I don’t try to brainwash this hobby on anyone but I support a subject of importance because believe it or not we are connected in this manner, your families where relatives of the early settlers and they had many struggles just to survive Why am I posting this topic, I especially enjoy local history, we tend to tear down to many monuments and other significant historical meanings. Why are we in such a hurry to erase the past when in time it will decompose by itself. Pictures are very hard to find,internet is great but not the complete source of vindication of what was. Folks if you ever walk into the woods and thought that was just a brick or stone think again it was maybe foundation of your early settlers, rivers and lakes run low did you ever see possible conditions of significance there, arrowhead, relics. I will end this by saying the experience is there waiting for you, all you have to do is turn the tv and put the phone away, chances are you will curious mind and learn something of reality, not realty tv. Thankyou please post your comments
