Heavy metal

Hi all,

Just wanted to mention that if anyone is looking for a solitary feelgood hobby then I can highly recommend metal detecting. I bought a metal detector this week and this morning at 06:00 went down to the beach where I live to give it a go. There was nobody about at all at that time so I had the beach, the sunrise, the wildlife, and the peace and quiet all to myself which felt amazing. As far as finding treasure goes...well...let's put it this way, if beer bottle caps were valuable I'd be retiring this week. Can't win them all.

  • I bet if I'd stayed online a bit longer I'd have answered. Nothing whatsoever to do with gender.

    I have social anxiety too, hence going out at 06:00 when nobody is about. As soon as it starts to get 'peopley' I'm out of there. I started a bit lower with a £299 Minelab detector just in case I didn't take to it. Got a permission on private land coming up so I'll soon have acres of solitude to enjoy.
