Diggers

As I've mentioned I have a lot of hobbies. One of my newer ones may end up being my favorite. Christmas before last my wife gave me a metal detector. I had wanted one for many years and I was thrilled to finally have one of my own. My interest in metal began when I was very young. My grandfather had one and would occasionally use it around the yard at our summer house. It stuck with me. My interest was awoken in recent years after watching a show called Diggers on the National Geographic Channel. It is about two guys who go detecting and always end up finding a lot of cool stuff. I am a bit spoiled as I found a beautiful ring on the beach one of my first times out. Since then I've found a lot of nails, beer cans, and pieces of fence. You never know what you are going to find when the detector goes off and it is that hunt that makes detecting so much fun. I used to make fun of those guys detecting at the beach wearing dark socks and sandals and now we are brothers. See you Memorial Day guys.

Until tomorrow,
Dave
