Seeking to metal detect to glorify God.......

[dirtmaster]

any ideas? I enjoy this hobby so much and I am thankful to God to give me such a simple pleasure to replace the stuff I used to do that took me away from Him. I used to be a recording engineer and I got so involved with it it became kind of an idol to me. He took it away but gave me this simple passion for metal detecting and I feel compelled to use it somehow to glorify Him. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can do that?

Maybe one thing we could do would be to take homeless children on our hunts with us? God knows there's orphanages filled with children that would love to have a day in the field searching for lost treasure. Or maybe there's a neighbor kid that doesn't have anyone to take interest in them that would enjoy a day in the field? Or.............maybe there's a retired person you know that would enjoy our hobby? Just some thoughts on how we can enrich the lives of others around us.

Thanks to everyone. I will never miss an opportunity to talk about God when I can. I feel really blessed that God allows me to have a good hobby such as this and to enjoy it everytime I go out.
