I am not the least bit suprised at all... I can see folks hunting for change just to have gas money or buy a gallon of milk or bread.. but we are not in a recession... alls I gotta say is remember 1921.

I agree, I can imagine that allot of people are not patient and will go swinging that machine all over the beach, no patterns, find junk and wonder why they spent all that money on a contraption.
I think not to worry cause, we, the true MD'ers have one thing the casuals don't,,, patience...

I honestly think all that will happen... but personally for me...its the thrill of the hunt.. its being able to get out by myself and enjoy the outdoors and nature..if I find something thats great..if I dont, thats ok too...

it will be interesting to watch.. wonder if any other states are sold out....

Been there seen it happen Locally.

If your planning on doing it to get rich,
You'll lose patience Quickly.
Even at todays Gold prices.

next will be all the gold claims being bought up... it could get ugly..which is kinda scary to be honest. wanna bet a lot of claims have already been bought?

I think it took me 3 months to pay for my detctor and that was hunting long and hard 4 days a week. Those get rich quick people are in for a big surprise!!!

 

[SWFLA]

Yeah, I'm still hoping to find enough change to pay the toll bridge on my way home

I had a great weekend I found 4 rings total. 2 gold with small diamonds, 1 silver ring, 1 silver charm, 1 brass with a neat dolphin, 1 wheat penny from 1925, $18 in clad, a Superman belt buckle, and a cool little Scuba Stever guy. I found a deep trough and it was insane. I guess I'll have a tough time topping this weekend, but I'll have fun trying. Good luck everyone.

ression hah -- can you say depression? -- its just coming on slowly the rich rigged the markets (stop trading triggers --after a certin % dropof the market -- locking folks in ) that way the ultra rich have time to bail out as the market does a slow melt down rather than the off the cliff dive like before (1929) -- the little folks will still get it in the neck watch and see . (as the poor panic the ultra rich will be there cherry picking the stock ownings for pennies on the dollar --- its the classic boom then bust the market cycle that the rich use to "pump" the money from the poor --learn from history or be part of it.

I agree Ivan
