As I have come more acquainted on what is happening in my life from detecting, and what I read from different posts from other detectorists, I come to realize that Metal Detecting has various levels of addiction. For some it is a matter of getting out when they get can. For others it is how they can maneuver they schedule to make metal detecting happen as much as possible. Buying detectors is another matter. Most detectorists I notice have multiple detectors. I know of someone that has owned and tried 27 different detectors! (over a period years of course). Admittedly trying a new detector is exciting, but why is it a hobby that owning and trying more and more detectors become such a passion for some? How does this hobby effect a person's life to various degrees? I would like to know what others think about this. I am sure other readers would like to hear your responses as well. So please let us know!
As for me I try to get out about 2-4 times a week if I can. I own two detectors but I plan to sell one of them soon. But I am planning to buy a water detector down the road so I will be back to owning two. Usually I detect (to places very close by) on the average of about 45 minutes -1 1/2 hours per session. Sometimes longer when I detect with my buddy, or on a weekend I may do a two hour session.
