Lately I have had lots of free time and need to find a new hobby. I was thinking about maybe buying a metal detector, I figure it could be good exercise and exciting. Any thoughts or ideas from anyone?

Be a volenteer firefighter

My only suggestion would be to find a hobby that will possibly provide some kind of financial support if ever needed... I made a hobby out of installing car audio and it definitely helps out financially when needed.

What are some of your other interest besides cars?
I personally love listening to all types of music and have always been a fan of music production. So now I buy records and sample them into my sampler and make little beats here and there to pass the time and mellow out.

Funny you should bring it up, because i have been considering the same thing. That's a really good hobby, my old neighbor's father was into metal detectors. He started his flourishing business with one of his finds. He found a very rare Spanish armada gold bullion coin here on the Monterey peninsula that he sold for $80,000. !!! Talk about luck right .. But yea it's great exercise and you can do it just about anywhere.

Paintball or photography, both pretty interesting but costly as well. Been into paintball for sum years and spent helluh money but good stress releaver. Photography pretty interesting too. Got some good interesting pics

Great time to start a business.

Posted by a302juGRnuat (Member # 10163) on :

get a 24 hour membership or cali fitness

Posted by SydeWaySix (Member # 3596) on :

Photography is fun but very costly! Get a nice used dslr and get acquainted with certain settings then get yourself something nice to grow with. Or you can go out and have some kids...they'll definitely take up a lot of your time [Big Grin]

I'd be recording the whole time. N I wasn't kidding on what I said. Supposably a 17 year old jumped off on friday N survived, oh N it was a dare?

Posted by Rinna90 (Member # 6850) on :

Lots of good ideas thanks guys. Lol do people really jump that often?? I used to play paintball but that got way to pricey. Metal detectors can be a lot of $$ but there's always the chance of making it back with a good find and the thrill of the hunt!

Posted by NEIGHT (Member # 8741) on :

Yeah I read somewhere that theres a person that jumps off every other week. Since it happens that often they don't announce it on the news. Golden Gate Bridge is like #1 on the list for suicides.

Crab fishing, poker, online gaming (Xbox 360) or get a dog and train him ,like a German Sheppard maybe. Or you could be like in storage wars, and go do that whole thing too.

Posted by fstryde3 (Member # 8436) on :

Fishing, camping,shooting, photography I try to do a little bit of each. Seems to be a little cheaper and more relaxing then the car for now anyways.

Honestly man you will never see a better time to do this in our lifetime. Most of the top companies were started in a down economy. I currently own a business but we branched out into a clothing line and our first time out we did well. We are relaunching this summer. I say do it playa!

Is that an OUTLAW with the KTM 525cc ? Or is it a Predator 500cc

Posted by norcalfiddy (Member # 11207) on :

surfin craigslist, buying and selling. ive done a lot of it, i guess you can call it a hobby. lol more like a job cause you gotta deal with 98% of the craigslist flakes. ebay too.

about a year ago i got a complete 440 jetski for $35 with a blown motor, parted it out on craigslist/ebay and make almost $500.

same with my last foxbody, picked it up for pretty much $150, parted it out and made around $2000. and building my new car off that $$, and i still have the motor from it.

but craigslist is a hit and miss, but if you keep checking once or twice a day, you might find something worth buying and reselling to make a quick buck.

also, buying cheap gocarts, dirtbikes, etc helps too, clean then up, paint, tune up, etc and you double your money on them.

I have some rather old ones actually. I have 2 RC-10s, I have a Clod Buster and I still have my grasshopper (my first RC). I want to get off into gas powered ones. I picked up a RC Action the other day and they have came HELLA far on the technology and stuff available for RCs.

Yea those are slick too. I am more into the off road RCs. I think I have a Traxxas too, I gotta look through some boxes of stuff. Ya'll got me wanting to go home and spark em up now and play with them...lol. I would be down with a board RC car get together.

Waaaay back, my friend and I used to race at a track in San Jose called "Innovations". I wonder if the RC track is still there?
