You know, sometimes I just get these "bugs" that make me want to try something new. One time, it was learning how to sail. Another, becoming a massage therapist (the legal kind, guys) *smile*. Now, I'm interested in metal detecting.
Most of these "bugs" stick with me for about a year done as a regular activity, then sort of fade a bit from my life as a new one replaces it. Now, I guess my question is: Would metal detecting be a good hobby to get into, knowing that I tend to stick with things about a year before they become more of a "once-and-awhile" activity?
I've been online, looking up sites and reviews on metal detecting and detectors. I've even gone so far as to place a wanted ad on Craigslist. Have had a few bites and one gal who says she has a White's brand basic detector for $125. That's about my price range. If spread out the cost over the coarse of a year, I don't think it's too costly as far as an activity goes.
What do y'all think? Do you go out treasure hunting with a detector? Do you see it as a hobby, or a way to produce unexpected income? Let me know your opinions and experiences.
Thanks in advance,
CJ
