>>1577423Its all about location anon. Canada hinterland really nice lake with fake sand beaches in between two big cities so lots of wealthy peeps holiday out there.
Lone beach comber out there every day scanning. Figure of derision by most people, cause he's obviously socially awkward anon, wears the same get up every day, like a local hobo he's a fixture on the beach all summer.
One day say fuck it and he moves close by strike up a conversation.
Anon gets told by Beach cowboy that this is his full time job. Only works spring/summer and autumn down in Florida. Took up said career after a heart attack at desk job and gets told by doc you gonna die if you aint exercising.
That was 10 years ago. Lost 120 pounds metal detecting. Makes between 30 and 50 grand a year.
How? Good gear, experience, and going to a place where people are likely to lose all sorts of things. Rings, watches, coins. Has a website that posts shit that he's found an collects either rewards or sells after 3 months.
Found a 10k engagement ring someone lost while swimming on the beach.
No boss. No job. No worries.
