Metal Detecting is a “Damn Good Hobby”
Local online newspaper, The Wenatchee World is stating the obvious to those of us at TreasureHunting.com.
Metal Detecting is a “damn good hobby.”
Jim Nuesse has used a metal detector for more than 20 years and once found a 2.5-ounce nugget of gold in Alaska, although he says the most common find is pull tabs and bottle caps.
“It’s all a part of it,” Nuesse said. “Anything I find doesn’t go back in the ground,” he said, adding he either takes it to the garbage can, or it goes into his pouch with his other finds.
On Monday after about two hours of searching, Nuesse had found a handful of money and a needle for pumping up balls. This is much more than average, which he attributed it to the first search of the year.
Nuesse estimates he got on his knees about 100 times during his outing Monday.
“At 68, it’s a damn good hobby. It keeps you in good shape”
Well Jim, we whole-heartedly agree! Keep it up and happy hunting!
It’s ok to have a comment.
