CAN YOU MAKE A LIVING Metal Detecting ????

You should read an old book, "The Poor Man's Treasure Hunter", by Bob Trevillion and Frank Carter. I think they could do it. Fantastic book, there are a few used ones selling on Amazon. I talked to his son on one of the forums (perhaps Treasure net) a while back.
 
"CAN YOU MAKE A LIVING Metal Detecting ????"

Absolutely you can.
All you need is that 'One Big Find' and you can be set for the rest of your life.

How many people make that "one big find"? It's like people that hunt for a lost cache or a mine that's always the subject of a certain magazine. No one ever seems to find them. If they did why would they tell others about it?
 
If I had enough money to quit working, I'd let you know. But no more than what I find when I do get a chance to go, I doubt I'd do very well at it.
 
You never know. Realistically, no. With luck- yeah. Like the guy who got a Radio Shack detector and found the largest trove known with a metal detector- $10 million.
 
Well steve used to live in Arizona and was making over $1000 a year with gold items,has moved to Louisana,still hunts with a fisher 1266x.contact him @ shm1023@msn.com
 
Yes I believe I could do quite well for myself in making a living metal detecting. My home would be well known and recognizable. It would be the Sears Kenmore Refrigerator box located just under the overpass.:blink:
 
Probably not. But if I were to try it I'd buy the best underwater detecting equipment and become a diver.
The idea would be to detect just beyond the reach of those who rely on ultra low tides to detect as
far out as possible without the above mentioned equipment. A boat wouldn't be needed.Then too, I'd research once popular
swimming/hotel sites that are not popular anymore. To save money, I'd buy a vehicle that I could both sleep and
travel around in. The best luck I ever had was finding 2 rings with flawless diamonds in span of four months.
Worth well over $30,000 together I could probably get $11,000 to $14,000 for both. Being 71 years old and in declining age related health
with a great pension makes me dream about it often. Life just passed me by.
