I almost glossed over this but the word stigma has been niggling at my brain. It’s only an issue if you let be, metal detecting is an enjoyable hobby for lots of people.
I tried it and found it didn’t match my tastes. Even the detectors designed to find gold don’t have any luck in Alberta, they can find nuggets but gold here is a fine dust.
Detectors will find jewelry and coins and bottle caps- lots of bottle caps.
If you want to try it out go to a playground with sand base and check around the swings, you can find all the bobby pins and barrettes and nails and do a good deed for the neighborhood.
