Satisfaction
I had the (mis)fortune to catch a piece on Radio 4 earlier about metal detecting. And you'll never guess who's a dab hand at it. Bill Wyman apparently. Hell, if even he's lost interest in chasing women, what hope is there for the rest of us. And I thought alzheimer's was the worst I could expect.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.
I always wanted to go out and detect metal in far away fields.
It's a bit like being a pirate without the risk of falling in the water.

There's a bit of a love-hate relationship between metal detectorists and real archaeologists. Apparently the detectorists tend to f*ck up the stratigraphy when the dig up their finds, but then again, the archaeologists wouldn't necessarily find the stuff the detectorists do.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

There's got to be a joke about Ben Gunn in there somewhere, but I'm buggered if I can find it.d00mw0lf wrote:I always wanted to go out and detect metal in far away fields.
