I have to wonder why most detectorists are "Old Men". I know many are younger detectorists but it seems like 80% of detector users are old. Maybe its an old mans hobby!

I started in 74.
Never seemed to have the time to detect as much as I wanted. Now I'm getting old.
And has become the best escape from home confinement with the perpetually angry wife.

Metal detecting is a hobby that the longer you do it the better you get.
It's like fine wine.

I worked for 45 years, now I am retired and enjoy getting out and spending time outdoors doing some detectIng or just taking walks away from the hustle and bustle. Finding things of value is just a cherry on top
