Why Siren Kimmie? Why?

I have been asked a few times during the maiden voyage of Girls Rock Metal Detecting, one simple question.  “Why?”  “Why Girls Rock Metal Detecting?”

 Simply put, in the three years I’ve been detecting and involved in the online community assisting others with video recording, editing, narrating, graphic design, marketing and even acting as admin on other groups, I noticed there was no real platform for female detectorists.  While the social media landscape is fully open for women to interact and engage, there was no true standout for the female voice.  Do not misunderstand—Girls Rock Metal Detecting is not some attempt at a big feminist statement (though I am a women which makes me inherently a feminist by my very gender).  More so, Girls Rock Metal Detecting is a place to celebrate women in the metal detecting community, openly and alongside our male counterparts (some of whom are our biggest and truest supporters).  It is a place that pays tribute to the sexy, smart, sassy tomboys and girlie girls who aren’t afraid to get a little dirty. A community where all of the ladies of metal detecting are brought together and promoted*.  A place where detecting vixens can live out loud and rock out with their detectors out without fear of being patronized or ridiculed.  A place free of in-fighting, back biting and drama, where we lift one another up and revel in our passion and enthusiasm for this amazing hobby that brought us all together.  That my friends, is the premise behind Girls Rock Metal Detecting.



*Any ladies submitting clips or photographs will be included in an upcoming Girls Rock Metal Detecting video along with a shout-out to their own channel/group or project.
