but do all hobby websites get these same type of questions?
Do fantasy football websites have the "so what is football" questions?
If I join the NRA website, should my first post be "so what kind of gun should I buy?"
Do cooking pages get people asking "what kind of recipes does everyone like?"
Yes we all started somewhere, but it points to how lazy our society is becoming....nobody can or even attempts to do any research/reading/heavy lifting and expects everything to just be handed to them.
Please know that this is not directed at ANYONE. This is just an observation of what I have seen on this website over the past year or so (even before I joined).
Maybe there is a way to limit what brand new members can post? Maybe as part of the sign-up process new members should be asked to read the beginners guide? Just thinking out loud here, maybe I am in the minority.
Anyways I have a big CRH road trip planned tomorrow, I hope to have some nice finds to share!
HH everyone.

I agree with Baddbluff, you are coming off as a a_____e. Don't pick on the new guys, I lurked on this site for almost 1 year before I joined. During that time I read over 120 pages of posts (yes it took me that long). There are a lot more now to read if someone started to look at all the old ones. As Treasure Hunter said this is a forum for sharing of information. In the Army the saying was "The only stupid question you have is the one you don't ask". It is up to us to share what information we can to educate our fellow crhs. For me this is a hobby to enjoy. I do enjoy the thrill of the hunt. It can be frustrating but it does get a person out & meeting people. If you don't like a post, no one is forcing you to read it. Just skip it & go on to a post you find interesting & read that one. That's what I do.
I had a coin collection as a kid but I stopped doing that some 50 years ago. CRH was something new to me. I guess you could say I was lucky because I just retired & I had the time to read all the posts before joining the site. They did teach me a lot & I enjoyed reading them. I also started metal detecting which is something else I was interested in doing at the same time. In todays world not many people have the time luxury to do what I did. I don't mind answering a newbies question. Enough of my soap box.
?? D@#%it!
