I can relate lol! Perhaps my story is a different case, but I used to love to play video games until I started working for a gaming company writing game source code. I guess designing & coding video games all day can do that sometimes. Hopefully that's not the case for metal detecting. I enjoy working designing & building the metal detector, but so far I can hardly wait to hit the road headed for nature. No doubt nugget hunting is hard work but I can hardly wait. ?
