[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 611937, member: 5515"]I do get an immense amount of pleasure every time. Here's my best explanation: 1. I came from humble beginnings in life, and I remember as a young man barely getting by with minimum wage. So now when I find things of value, I think back on tougher times which makes it sweeter. 2. I also used to metal detect A LOT. The amount of time it would take me to find a tiny tiny piece of silver made it feel very rewarding when I finally pulled silver out of the ground. Given how hard it is to find silver in that hobby makes finding silver more rewarding in this hobby. 3. I think the stuff is just downright beautiful. 4. It's kind of like a game for me, I'm only competing against myself, but I'm also competing against the store who is supposed to find it and never let it out on the shelves, the other hunters who are trying to find it before me, the original owners who were supposed to know it's silver.
