phrunt Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Β This woman goes detecting in high heels π The article: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/31/style/metal-detectorists-ring-finders.html Below is a segment of the article so you can decide if you want to click on the link to read the rest People have been metal detecting since 1881, when Alexander Graham Bell invented a device to find the bullet lodged in President James Garfield. But it took several more decades for recreational metal detectors β devices that resemble βsort of a skillet on the end of a pole,β as one newspaper put it in 1927 β to develop a serious cult following. Now, that cult following is growing. Detector makers are reporting record sales. According to an annual report from one brand, Minelab, in 2020 the company sold 30 percent more detectors than the previous year, which had climbed 18 percent the year before that. And we are in a bit of a detectorist media moment. New York magazine is making listicles of the best metal detector models. Drew Barrymore is giving them away on her show. The teenage sketch comedian Parker James is wielding one before his six million TikTok followers. In England, Carey Mulligan is making it mainstream; on Nantucket, millennials are making it fashion; and in the gaming industry, a romantic thriller-meets-metal detecting video game will be released this summer.

Norvic Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Yeah, I'm with you GC, last thing we need is to become a pet of social media or maybe that is inevitable now and we could take advantage of any positives this may bring. I'm thinking maybe political advantage to gain detecting access to areas we are excluded from currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valens Legacy Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 You know that it is a staged picture, if she was really metal detecting a beach she would have been in a bikini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
