June 12; weather still in 50's,wonderful temperatures to detect. yesterday found me in locale park adding to ongoing totals. I found $1.20. (1 quarter,5 dimes 4 nickels 25 pennies) Some would question a persons sanity and ask "Is this really worth it" and my answer will always be the same...."Of course". Where else can you find a hobby that pays you for your time? Sure, I spent two hours to find those coins and only got .60 cents an hour, but my round of golf the day prior cost me $20.00 for 2 hours and believe me I didn't get anywhere near the satisfaction I get from detecting. Besides all the savings, ( I lost 4 balls at $1.50 a pop) there is always the chance at the "Big day". Take two days ago as an example, I found a gold ring with two diamonds and those can be found at any given time as well. The point is you can make .10 an hour, or quite possibly alot more. The opportunities are endless and that excites me enough for the pursuit. In two months time I've collected $21.65, 3 rings, 1 silver earring, 4 tokens, and many other tidbits of history. Many coins can be worth much more than face value and that adds to the allure. Instead of letting your imagination run wild, go and conquer. Happy hunting!
