The average age of me is about 56.9. My Knees and Back and Shoulders feel 10yrs older, My head tells me if still in my 30s. So it averages out. I've been detecting since I was 15 and hooked on gold prospecting since I was 5 or 6. First detector (the family's ) was a Whites 5000 d coinmaster. Absolutely useless in the hot ground around Whroo.

Average age in our home is 52.5 Average time spent detecting is a big fat zero 8.( :lol: bloody work, covid and everything in between I've got all the gear plus some

GH you can start a new thread titled average time spent on the ground, my average relative to time doesn't look like changing any time soon.

We average 69 and did the season in WA last year from Kal to Marble Bar.
Better than any gym workout. We just get flabby again over summer.
Getting ready to do it again this year. Best lifestyle for us. Love it.
Finding and tiny shiny piece is exciting. The learning we are constantly doing keeps brain sharp researching on Trilobite.

Two of us here, average is just a few weeks shy of 78. The detectors have all put on weight over the last few years and the hills we want to detect on have grown in height and are steeper since the last time.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah old age, so far I've not found anything good about it. I guess the positive is it's all down hill from here on in.
