Metal Detecting is our number one hobby, and is the one we enjoy the most. Metal detecting is a truly fascinating hobby, which is enjoyed by people of all ages. Great finds make this hobby interesting! You will find treasures if you're really looking. But don't expect to find good stuff only, you will find lots of trash! There's just no way to get around it. However, a lot of what you find depends on where you go and how much you know about your detector.(Storyline via IGDB)
