how old is everyone here?

[daveycleaning]

hey guys i was just wondering hot old everyone is because i am just getting into TH and i have found that a lot of people are older. Which is cool because of the experience but i was wondering why there is not very many younger people like me. I am 20 years old. just thought it would be interesting!

Have entered the far side. 53

I bought my first detector when I was 22. It was a Whites Coinmaster from Sears. Wanted to find riches, didn't happen. Gave it up for many years and now do it because it is an enjoyable hobby. Wish I had never stopped.

39, I started in 1978, and it has been alot of fun over the years! I wish there was a forum like this when I first started. I had nobody to help me figure it out and it was really frustrating at first. So you new folks out there, don't get frustated and give up, stick with it, and read the advice from the experienced ones, and it will all come together and you will find awesome stuff.
