[QUOTE="Maxfli, post: 3444270, member: 69089"]There's a flaw in this analogy, Chip. The people you're training in metal detecting actually want to get good at metal detecting. Of course you're going to be helpful, regardless of how annoying their dumb questions become. Many (most?) of the treasure-hunting newbies who come to this coin collecting site aren't interested in becoming coin collectors. They're only interested in learning if they've found a rare error Lincoln cent ("don't tell me it's not!") and is it valuable. OR . . . they've been misled by the internet to believe that treasure hunting for Lincoln errors = coin collecting. When they find out that's not the case, of course there's going to be dissonance.[/QUOTE]
