Beach metal detecting: ways to make money

[jeffrey]

I think instead of wasting our time in earning money through such means, we can put that much energy into finding a real job or doing something really creative.

I had a lot of people say the same thing to me when I started this website about it being a waste of time and how I shouldn't spend so much time on it. Now it provides me with my "real job" - Just because you don't see it as a viable job for you doesn't mean that it can't be for others. I am certainly proof of that.

I think that someone who was motivated could do quite well blogging about their finds and building a community on that topic because of the natural allure of "treasure hunting" to many people. It would also lead to product selling opportunities for the equipment needed for those that are interested. I would consider that quite creative and certainly the potential to eventually become a "real job"

You are right. If you have the drive to do something then you can do it. But what you are talking about is doing a business. Searching for valuables on the beach is not a business. Next he will say that we should lurk around street corners and weight for someone to drop their wallets or purses etc....

Not wallet and purses, but race track betting stubs: http://www.savingadvice.com/forums/w...ake-money.html
