Metal Detector Enthusiasts

In my research I have come across one commonality amongst metal detector enthusiasts: This hobby has an addictive quality that, once flowing though the veins, is so hard to resist that it has been known to create unrest at home. But once you escape for a day of detecting, nothing beats the exhilaration of discovering treasures.

Going Pro
The main difference between a professional, the full-time treasure hunter and the far more common hobbyist, is the success achieved. If the treasure is uncovered and the hobby can become a full-time job, the professional is born. But the average metal detecting hobbyist is working 40 hours a week at a full time job, planning for metal detecting excursions in the winter and participating in the actual excursion on the weekends in mild weather.

Metal Detector Widow
People joke about the golf widow and apparently the same holds true of the spouse of the treasure hunting hobbyist as well. Websites even give advice on how to keep the peace at home with the struggling spouse left behind.

The Expense
This hobby can be very expensive, metal detectors running from $100 to $4,500. It also takes time and money to research and find the proper places to use the metal detector.

Then of course expenses occurred while on the hunt. So hobbyist, beware, there is more to the game than meets the eye.
