 Hello folks,

Was wondering just what the "average" age of Today's detectorists is here in this site? Are we getting more younger folks into the hobby OR is it just a lot of "Older" Folks?

I have wanted to get involved in this hobby since I was a youngster but never had either the time or money, until recently so here I am having bought my first machine just last week at the young age of 50.

Hi McIntosh
I got a BOGO deal from Kellyco, got the Titan 2000dx with 10" coil for me, and Titan 2000dx with 8" coil for the wife. Thanks for the invite, I am hoping to get back out west next winter, I am a California native now living in the mountains of North Carolina.

Hi, from the shores of North Carolina. In a few weeks, I will turn 50 and 2 of my hunting partners are aged 8 and 9. So I guess that would make the average in this family around 23 years old.  Good luck in your digging.
