Lots Of Great Talent On This Forum..."WHAT DO/DID YOU DO FOR A LIVING?????"

[Old Dominion Thomas]

I work for Colonial Williamsburg for the past 22 years . My schooling was in Air Conditioning . I have been MDing off and on since 1978 (age 10). I raced cross country motorcycle events. But found racing to be a bit on the expensive side . My past metal detectors have been Jetco Mustang , Bounty Hunter DE280,Garrett GTA500 Garrett Ace250,Garrett AT- PRO.

As a side note to my story I have found out that my Great Great Great Grandfather was the sole survivor of a ship wreck off the coast of Virginia. The ships is believed to be a Spanish ship called the Juno . The story can be found by Googling James Alone or James Lunn. Could this be the basis for my treasure seeking?

It's always nice to hear about you, other then you swing an ACE, AT Pro, water machine , gold machine etc. Sometimes what you do or did for a living can be a real asset to some issues on the forum. And, it would just be interesting to see the broad spectrum of careers which may have triggered a desire to metal detect.

[Stormrider51]

I was an EMS Paramedic for 26 years. The 24 hrs on/48 hrs off schedule left me plenty of time to detect. Now I'm retired and can hunt all I want. Waiting for my wife to retire so we can travel and detect.

I put 20 years into the US army (1979-1999) and 35 years into the brown army (UPS). Thankfully I did some overlapping of the 2 or I would really be old. I will retire on the 17th of Oct and become a full time metal detectorist (water/land) and bird hunter.
