Everyone Should Metal Detect
Most people think that metal detecting is just a dumb boring hobby on the beach for retired bald people. Actually, it’s not necessarily boring at all. It is actually quite fun. It is a very fun hobby, it is educational, and you CAN strike rich!!! Let me explain to you why!

Metal detecting is a very fun hobby. You can go to various places around the world like ghost towns, ancient ruins, or even your own backyard! Metal detecting, it’s like the simulation of treasure hunting. Your imagination can run wild while metal detecting. You could be pirate hunting for the treasure chest, or you could imagine what was once there from a time before. People can get great and joy from this hobby which makes it fun to them

Metal detecting can be very fun and educational too. The history of what lies beneath the surface could be breathtaking. Many relics of the people from the past could have been lost, or left behind. By an old piece of scrap metal you find in your yard could have been a big piece of some ones life. A child’s favorite toy, a …show more content…

Who doesn’t wanna be rich?!?! This is the last reason why EVERYONE should metal detect. Many people back in the day did not trust the banks. So, those people who didn’t use their banks hid their money. They hid them in various places like burying it by a tree, or under their floorboards, or even in their barn under the ground. People hid their guns and weapons too. Money (aka coins and bills) and weapons (aka rifles, pistols, knives, etc.) from the 1700’s to the early 1900’s are very valuable to collectors. If you are not sentimental with your finds, you can strike rich!!! Some collectors pay real BIG bucks for people’s finds, and not just weapons or money. On the show Diggers on Discovery Channel the Digger found a old coin purse, with their metal detector, in tact from the late 1800’s with 2 gold coins. It was sold to a local collector for over 2

  • Analysis Of The Landmine By Melissa Range

    780 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the end of “The Landmine”, it takes a quick turn for the worst. It uses agricultural words like sow, seed, harvest, and bloom, which promote life and hope, shielding us from the horrible things that it does. It also reminds us how it will never go away and is unavoidable unless it is triggered by something. It will be there “after all [our] wars have ceased”(14). The Landmine ends the poem by saying that even though it is buried, it “won’t rest in peace”(15), which brings to mind a ghost haunting us, and it also gives us the thought that any person, no matter how innocent, can step on it and can be killed, blown to pieces in an instant.

  • Argumentative Essay On Trigger Warning

    967 Words  | 4 Pages

    A trigger warning is often used at the beginning of a form of media to inform the audience of its content, particularly when the content may be found offensive. After looking at a handful of articles I would now define a trigger warning as attachments to media that provide a reader a heads up on certain material that may cause reactions due to graphic descriptions. The intended use of trigger warnings is to make the audience aware, particularly victims of various kinds of violence, of the upcoming content to avoid a reminder of their traumatic experience. The use of trigger warnings is favored by some and disliked by others. Arguments regarding trigger warnings suggest that these warnings protect the individual, but another viewpoint implies

    The term “safe space”, a supposed haven where students of minority and marginalization can feel free to express their ideas and be themselves has started a movement across college campuses nationwide. The newfangled movement is driven largely by students who wish to scrub campuses clean of offensive or discomforting topics. Safe spaces emerged during the post-Civil Rights era where women, LGBTQ, and racial minorities grew in presence on campuses; however, today they serve as refuges for like-minded people who don’t feel the need to explain or defend their personal beliefs. Recently, the safe space debate has taken a controversial turn: arguments and cases have been created over whether safe spaces provide a supportive environment or cultivate
