So just as I have figured most people who detector are hands on people. People who dont mind getting dirty and having a good time. I also noticed we have a few electronic techs which make sense. If you enjoy electronics you probably like figuring out detectors such as I. I took electronics in college and enjoyed metal detecting more once I started "Knowing" how they work from a different perspective lol! Its just amazing as to the different varieties of careers that people who have who share this fun and rewarding hobby! Thanks everyone!

Your brother needs to be glazed and fired for kicking you out of your studio!!
