to happen, the feeding frenzy of metal detecting everyday is replaced by job changes, rising kids, moving across the country and starting a new life, going to collage, the pains of getting older, lay offs, kids sports programs, daughter's art classes and so on and so on. 
Right now many folks are either to busy with family or just trying to make a living to be out hunting every day, as much as they would like to be out hunting every day the home life comes first as it should. But most of these people do try and get out when they can and most post about it when they do, it's not like the old days when we all could hunt at will, now those little ones are growing up and demand more time and the new job does also or that second job, it's all about growing as each year passes by.
This forum has lost some folks because they just stop hunting and moved onto other things, this forum has lost some folks because of the none detecting post and feel we should be only about detecting, to that I say hog wash!
This forum states what it is in it's name at the top of the forum, The Friends and Finds Forum, to share finds and discuss things around the dinner table, if you look around the web most detecting forums are short for finds and the rest of the time it's just questions and answers about machines which is great but there are only so many questions you can ask before it gets boring and turns into a tech forum which is great if thats what I am looking for but I'm not
Yup, we have slowed down abit for finds but most forums have, our forum is no different but we still have that other thing to pick us up when the finds are slim, the friends in (The friends and Finds Forum)
For me, I have gotten a lot of joy outa this forum, watched many of your kids grow up
Don's young boys, Craigs son Cory and Vernons girls to name a few, met and hunted with many on this forum, even a few who don't post any more :sad: but I will always remember and call friend.
For me this is home, makes no difference if there are 100 posters or 10, this forum works for me because I always know I will run into a friendly face that I know
I will tell you one thing that ticks me off though, folks that only post finds but won't take the time to say thank you to the replys even in just one thank you reply to their post or other posters finds down the forum
They only care about their once a month post but show total BS to the rest of the forum, I've had enough of that crap and I'm done with it 
This forum will live, maybe slower but will live because the core of the people on this forum wouldn't have it any other way

I'm not good when it comes time to thanking the replies.And I know it a buzzy world and we all have thing going on in owner lives but hey we're family here and a lot of us have been together for years and a few move together.It's just that a lot of us are coming on,checking the post and moving on to other things.I'm just saying I'd like them to take the time to post something while on here.You know,how'd there day when,a joke,did there kids win there game.When I have a contest I get lots of replies.I know detecting time is hard for a lot of us and can't get out.I love this forum for the friends more then the finds,just like to hear how there doing.a Little post like"I got a flat on the way to work today" can spark a lot of replies and get this place hopping a again.I'll do better on thanking the replies and get off your list.So lets all post a little of how your doing and get this place hopping again.Thanks Ray great post.

Am I on your list? My posts have slowed down here and I stated it on an earlier post.I do check in here every morning before I head to work but don't always have the time to respond to posts.
As far as changes in life that effect us in this hobby I know all about that.
My employment has changed big time this year.For 25 years I worked for the same company then out of some kind of greed the shop closed.We were told due to lack of business but as we all went to file paperwork with the state we were told the business moved to China.Talk about a kick in the nuts.I was lucky in the fact that I worked part time at another job for years and was offered full time there.I am treated like family by the owner and he is very flexible with me.So I do now about change.One of the bright spots was coaching my daughter in softball and being elected one of the all star coaches.That was good timing as the employment change was taking place.
Me getting out in the woods helps me deal with all that crap as it gets me away from it.I had felt that some of the detecting posts do get over looked so I slowed down on them.I do have more finds from this year I will post and we will see.
Again I am not trying to anger any one as I have been with some of you for 5 years or so.But with that said if I am one you are unhappy with just let me know.

so I really haven't had anything to post about finds. Second, I have been having chest congestion and I just can't seem to shake it. When I went to the doctor he listened to my breathing and said it sounded like I have pneumonia. However, the X-ray showed it wasn't that far along. I have been off work lately about as much as I have been at work. I do check here on a regular basis, but I just haven't had anything to say. I'll try to do better!!!
