I often post advice about seeking out old geezers and listen to their stories for treasure hunting tips. It dawned on me one day that I am an old geezer! Maybe that's why it's easy for me to listen to their stories? I catch myself telling the same stories over and over and over and.....................well, you know. I was holding up pretty well until I turned 50 and now it seems my whole body has had an overhaul. I have more man made replacement parts than I can count! I have wire stents in my arteries, $40,000.00 worth of titanium in my back, some kind of artificial mesh in my aorta, gold, silver amalgum and porcelean in my teeth and now my hips and knees are trying to give out! At this rate I'll be the bionic old geezer by the time I am 70! Reminds me of what Mickey Mantle my....sob....childhood hero said, "If I'd known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself"! The oldest any male has ever lived on either side of my family was 76, my Dad. And at 61 that ain't too far off. But maybe with all these man made spare parts I can break that record? I'm sure gonna try! A man in his late 60s was convicted of a crime and got a 25 year sentence. When asked by the judge if he had anything to say, he replied, " But judge, I'll never live long enough to do 25 years"! The judge retorted, "Just do all you can Mr. Smith"! That's me, I'll just do all I can! JIM
 

There's alot of young bucks, treasure huntin' out there. I started young detecting with my dad. I think that's how alot of us start. I'm 26 and hopefully still in the young buck category. ;D
 

There were 31 candles on my last birthday cake. When I go detecting I've got the energy of my 4 year old.
 

Wow, this is an old thread! I'm 38, although my heart tells me I'm 26 and my liver tells me I'm 54. Gotta' see what I can do about that. :-\
 

52 this month. I stayed 19 for 10 years and no one ever questioned me about it. I retired the first time in 1993, I'm still waiting on my second retirement.

Just celebrated my 29th anniversary of my 21st birthday......:)...And I am WOMAN!!!! :) (Did you hear my roar? LOL)
 

Turned 34 on May 31. My grandfather (dad's side) was the youngest in the family when he died at 87- his brother was 99. My grandmother (Mom's side) will be 95 this year. Might need some replacement parts, but we keep runnin'!
 

im only 17 and i have a feeling that i am not going to be getting any older for several decades to come and as of right now my body is in perfect working order, no worrys about that though still plenty of time to fix it so that i can fit in with the rest of u all
