Are you looking for a new hobby that allows you to get outdoors and move around, something that is rewarding and challenging? Try relic metal detecting!Here are three reasons why you should consider this great hobby: * Metal detecting gets you outdoors in the fresh air moving around and exercising. This is one of the great benefits of this hobby, it provides a source of exercise that you can fit to your own needs. If you rather an easy strolling exercise pace, go to a local park and leisurely search around park benches, under trees, and around playground equipment. If you want an adventure to challenge your fitness and strength, a hiking/treasure hunting trip to old gold mining towns in the western mountains will surely live up to your expectations, and then some! You say, "why not just stroll or hike?" That leads to the second reason... * You get the benefit of exercise, and the possibility of finding valuable relics. Not only is this hobby a great source of exercise, it is also a chance to find some really neat stuff, and it doesn't have to be coins. If you are relic metal detecting your finds can include all sorts of things other than coins... An old wagon wheel hub, eating utensils, a pot (the ones that are filled with coins are great!), knife blades, plow tips, axe heads, and old steel traps... * It is also a fairly inexpensive hobby to get into. A quality starter metal detector today will cost you around two-hundred dollars as a ball-park sum, although quality machines can be bought for less than this. So now you know three reasons why you should consider picking up relic metal detecting as your new hobby.
