You are not GOING nuts, you WENT nuts when you got addicted to this Sport! The question is just exactly how nuts are you? Some here are so off the chart insane, they will bag coil and bundle up and go out today! Some are moderately nutty and will dink around indoors by tossing out a handful of clad in the living room and see if they can find it all...some less nutty will be watching Youtube vids and hanging out on the Forums..The least nutty can be trusted...
Metal Detectorists as a whole are all about as nutty as a portapotty at a peanut festival, only in different degrees.
Considering all the other Outdoor Pursuit oriented sports, this one above all others is about the most 'Year Round All Weather' as you can get!....
That said though, a guy gets to thinking about how wonderful it would be to chase the seasons and detect as much as possible year round in comfort...Migrate like the rich Golfers and other butterflies do...just gently flutter on down as the weather pushes..get up everyday and wander around some new area as the weather dictates....
. Like right now, with a howling blizzard outside, a guy would be more productive somewhere along the Gulf or east coast of Florida, SoCal or on the coast of the Mediterranean, or the Philippines, or Central/South America, the Caribbean Islands...
Heck, today I can imagine myself sweeping the Seychelle resort beaches, or maybe New Zealand, or Copa! ..Anyway, yeah, right now there will be No Detecting for me today in this howling blizzard....
Hell, I doubt even the ice fishermen will be getting out, as nutty as they are!...It will be nothing but snowplow drivers and linemen...Well hell, I may as well bag coil and go see if I can find a wild outdoors parking lot snow penny! I already found a buck fiddy clad in the living room this morning, watched a NuggetNoggin youtube vid, so I got the rest of the day to dink around on the Forum for the Nutty Trifecta!! Hell! Its not even 8am Eastern!..
