Do you ever feel bad for unborn detectorists?

Nope, never thought of it, because, the way things are going in this world in a few hundred years indigenous people may rediscover Mt Rushmore and wonder what great society once existed there before them. They may even worship it. By the time metal detectors are reinvented everything from our time will be worth money.
 

The worst thing for future generations is that elite academia and government would rather Mother Nature and time destroy all relics, and have things never be found only to be lost forever, than to let someone without a digging degree pull something out of the ground.
 

Had a young boy, maybe 12 follow me around for 3 hours asking questions the other day, I know what he’ll be asking for Christmas this year. I let him keep some of my best finds, he reminded me of myself when I was his age. Granted he’s already been born but it’s really fun to turn young people on to the hobby, better than playing those video games.


Inspiring the next generation in some way is the biggest contribution we can make to the world.
 

Maybe its like cuting a tree down and you replace it with another. Find a treasure and put somthing back in its place. Might make things interesting
