How my other hobby helps fund my coin addiction.

[NoHope587]

Got the statement from our detecting account today total funds in the account $861.88
Still have about $30 waiting to be rolled.
Here are the keepers and the silver Purchased using the account over the last 2 years. When I was told the detector would pay itself off over 2 years I was thinking 'yeah right!' but in two years we have found enough to pay off both detectors and purchase better models should we so desire. I am not advocating metal detecting as a hobby as it seems we do way better than most (plus I don't want the competition)
but it gets us out of the house and would seem to turn a tidy profit.

With your efforts in the medallion drives the past 2 years I must assume your metal detecting has also benefited our hobby as well! Now get back out there and find some gold!!!

Wow .... love that silver. it's great to have an enjoyable hobby that can also bring in funds rather than just eat up your funds.

You're doing well N H 587. I also use my 'findings' to purchase coins. I sell tokens and keep coins and other neat stuff. As for the small metal cars, planes and trucks, I must be up to around 70 by now. Yes, detecting findings can pay for your detector. I sold 4 tokens that paid for my DFX detector 2X over.

I once had a job selling refrigerator/freezers to Eskimo's in Alaska. Don't know why, but I never made good money at it! Also opened a restaurant called "Big John's Spaghetti & Meatballs On A Stick". Unfortunately, that never caught on either! Dang, what am I doing wrong?
