Why do you Detect?

[Limitool]

I equate MDing to deer hunting... You hunt for the thrill of the hunt because you never know what your going to see or get. I got VERY good at deer hunting and it was news when I couldn't find them and bring one home at will. But not MDing.... you can get good at it but you never know what coming out of that hole!

For the eye candy. And I'm a old goat.

And the high of seeing Gold in the Scoop!

Those are two great reasons...I always say there is nothing like seeing gold in the scoop...its very addicting...so are the bikinis.

I do it because I want to see what comes out next.

Hey everybody,

I'm curious what makes you want to keep on keepin' on? What drives you to detect even after getting skunked over and over again.

I'm currently in the process of writing a book that involves detecting. I'm not sure yet if it will be a series directed at youth or a novel. I would like any and all input. The storyline is as follows.

A brother and sister are in the car with their parents on their way to visit grandma and grandpa who live on Cape Cod. They encounter a violent storm and the parents die in a car crash. The kids go to live with the grandparents and the young boy is presented with a metal detector. While in the hospital library the boy stumbles upon a book about treasure myths along the east coast of the US and is attracted to a myth of treasure off the shore of cape Cod Bay.

I detect as a means of tension release. I work in a very high stress job and the tranquility of detecting is great. Even if I am having a hard time finding anything worthwhile it still takes my mind off of the millions of negative vibes from work...

I detect because it is there...
