Making money from your hobby
Besides selling your finds, there are a few ways to earn some money from your hobby.
1. Organising digs
If you don’t mind approaching Farmers and other land owners, you could organise some one day digs, where you charge for attendance and split the proceeds with the landowner. If you have a helpful family member, they could provide drinks and snacks. Also you could sell accessories with the help of a local Metal Detecting shop/supplier?
2. Create a web site
You could if you have plenty of spare time and a flair for using computers develop a web site ( like this one ) and sell items that detectorists need.
3. Write a book or articles
If you a literary person, you could write some articles for magazines or even a book
