Why Do We Chase Gold?


Recommended Posts

Well said by many of your desires and or reasons.

I enjoyed the thoughts and words of Skookum and can tell he's experienced some parts of life a few of us have not.  I also realize, as he, that Gold Fever is a real thing.

I've personally seen friends and customers lose their jobs, their wife and even know of a couple instances their lives over gold.  I actually do feel it can be very addictive to some (just like gambling, tobacco, alcohol and porn) and so I try my best to not get tied up into just chasing gold.  We all have our weaknesses and addictions, just some of us are willing to speak about it while others hide for the time being.  My wife will tell you, for me Metal Detecting in general is my addition.  At least I have been able to keep my job, my wife and my life.  

Yes, MD'ing has so many benefits and a few pitfalls. But I still fell it's one of the best hobbies out there.

For the few folks who hunt gold with a detector for a living.  Man you have to really know patience and then some.  I'm not wired quite that tight and or focused.  I do with you luck though.

I like the search.
If it's out in the middle of nowhere, so much the better.
It is the most unencumbered feeling I have ever experienced.
For some reason gold is a symbol of something more that is indefinable  - it's all about the subtleties.
