<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2763073, member: 10461&quot;]I do hope you&#039;ll share some pictures.&nbsp; I totally understand about the knee thing and am in the same boat with you.&nbsp; Sadly, I think my active detecting days are behind me, though I still have a machine and will still try to get out a couple of times a year.</p><p><br /></p><p>I dreamed of being an archaeologist when I was a teenager.&nbsp; That never happened, of course.&nbsp; In retrospect, I think my unfulfilled potential would not be as an archaeologist so much as a conservator or curator who has hands-on with lots of artifacts.&nbsp; It&#039;s the artifacts that &quot;speak&quot; to me, which is how I ended up a coin collector in the first place.&nbsp; I think everyone hear has some inkling of what I&#039;m talking about. </p><p><br /></p><p>But of course a lot of archaeology deals with stratigraphy and dendrochronology and pollen analysis and faunal remains and all that scientific stuff.&nbsp; I follow that to a very small degree as an archaeo-wannabe reader, but I&#039;m not so sure I&#039;d have the stamina for the hard science end of it.&nbsp; Like so many of us coin folks, I&#039;ve got a bit more of an aesthetic/artistic/romantic tendency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
