That's what a little boy asked me the other day. He thought I was making my way by detecting I guess.
I said no, I'm just having fun finding coins. But to think of it I am doing it to be living maybe.
I get out in the open air - get away from any troubles - get a lot of good exercise - have a lot of fun - meet a lot of people along the way - expand my mind by looking up what I have found to learn about them - helping others along the way by showing how it works or finding lost things for them.

And at the end of the day I am tired, sleep well, am rewarded by my hunt - what could be better ?
So maybe I am doing this for living - Steve in so az
 
Nobody ever asks me anything. Maybe that's due to my speaking softly and carrying a big stick. :lol::lol::lol: HH everyone.

Wonderful post Steve. I think the thing that sticks in my mind the most in the many years I have been detecting is, one day I was out detecting and in the distance there were a few young kids and I heard one of them say "what is he doing" and one of the others answered "he is looking for money, he must be poor".
 
Had a kid ask me the same thing two weeks ago as I detected an old home here. I said "No, but I would love to be able to." He said "so would I." Think we have a future detectorist on our hands...:lol:
 
Great post Steve!! My opinion is that this particular hobby has many redeeming benefits for us. The rewards coming in several ways: humanitarian, our physical bodies, our minds, our hearts, our souls, and our pockets. What could be better than that?
