Iโ€™d add: Spend time cleaning up someone elseโ€™s messy plugs.

I reckon youโ€™re a true veteran when you dig a โ€œPulltabโ€ or โ€œTrash Aluminiumโ€ signal and find itโ€™s actually your first Gold Ring.

How about the elusive gold coin!..automatic entry into the detecting hall of fame lol

Well I think we all know what the detectorist bucket list isโ€ฆ

sovereign, token, gold ring, silver ring, gemstone jewelery, gold nugget, silver coins, military badge/buttonsโ€ฆ

I like it, i like it alot.
Dont forget toy cars and getting to the scene and forgettin part of your detectorโ€ฆ or gear.

Shady :beers:

Yeah, forgetting spade, or finds bag.
Or my most often memory fade - bug repellent, it sure keeps you on move, and you donโ€™t mind getting wet and muddy so much then!
