what other hobbies are you into?

gianetics · Jan 20, 2015

just curious, to me it seems that people in certain hobbies gravitate towards others that are similar. for me:

metal detecting (obviously)
fishing (unfortunately i opened a tackle shop and killed the "hobbie"
guns
knives
disc golf
flashlights

those are the main ones. ive taken a metal detector with me while disc golfing one hell of a day. now i just need to play a night round so i can disc golf while metal detecting, using a flashlight to see where i left my knife, because my gun jammed trying to shoot a squirrel i was fishing for :roll:

I'm into most outdoor activities that don't require tons of exertion! Like fishing, hunting, and prospecting, along with MD'ing. When I lived in Colorado, 4 wheeling was one of my favorite past times, combined with the above. Here in PA that is very limited, and prospecting has been a bust. So pretty much limited to fishing, hunting and MD'ing now.

There's other Hobbies?

military miniatures ...

here is a Robert E Lee - 1/9 scale bust I am attempting to paint. This is my first attempt at painting a figure, as I normally build 1/35 scale armor.

last pic is a 1/35 scale 1937 203mm Russian howitzer used mainly in Berlin during the final days of WWII

Mottz · Jan 20, 2015

Hunting, shooting, and pretty much doing anything outdoors. But my main hobby is teaching my son the worthless knowledge of things that will actually pay off for him later in life. As I found out from my dad.

Payloadjim · Jan 20, 2015

Ok... here's my list of other things that entertain me. Also Panning and Sluicing for Gold, hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, bottle collecting (old 1800's), painting (oil and acylic) I'm a realist. Reading, reaserching lands and towns for MDing and Prospecting. Animals of any type, I've raised just about all farm animals except for sheep. Also painting murals in homes and public businesses. I collect rocks and gems. In my past I was a sky diver, rock climber and a nut for skeet and trap shooting. Also an avid surfer along the coast of Calif. I loved to play baseball. Also I worked for titleist for a few yrs. Golfed all over for free, (boring sport)

My hobbies

Other than metal detecting, I'm into drawing, writing, pyrography (woodburning), horseback riding, model building, and playing video games. This is Wisconsin, so I've got roughly half the year with practically nothing to do but stay inside.

With college and all I've had less time than I've had in the past, but I still try to make time for my art. Here is some of my more recent artwork. The first two are pencil drawings, the next two are pyrography, and the last is oil pastel. All are freehand:

Awesome Gab - Love the drawings!! I have TONS of woodburning supplies including a real nice brand new adjustabe temp wood burner, many pattern books, wood blanks, etc, but have not done it in years

I love to hunt, fish and camp but to be honest my MDing habit have taken over most of that.

Troller · Jan 20, 2015

Fishing, boating, riding my Harley and woodworking. I like to carve fish, like this one, since I can't seem to catch a walleye this big. :lol:

I actually won a carving contest with this one. Airbrushed with stain so the wood grain still shows through. Gotta get off the sofa and make another while the ground is frozen.
