What is the appeal?
This particularly humid summer day leaves her considering this question as sweat drips down the small of her back and hair clings to her face. She mindlessly brushes a wayward stand out of her eye, leaving a streak of dirt across her cheek. Mosquitoes and other biting insects buzz around, attempting to make her their next meal. She shakes her head in response and notices a twig which she plucks from her now disheveled do. Her knees and backside are dirty and she is pretty sure she has an entire beach-full of sand and earth in her shoes, bra and panties (how it gets there is a mystery)!
She glances down at broken, mud-encrusted fingernails, taking note of her arms, now covered in thorn scratches and bruises for which she has no recollection of their origin. By days end her entire body will tell the tale of running around like a wood nymph, navigating briars, hoisting over fallen trees, sliding down crevasses and climbing steep hills. Anyone in their right mind would say this sounds like a horrid way to spend the day.
Breathing in deeply, savoring the smell of dirt, brush, pine and leaves, her mouth curves up in a knowing smile. Metal detecting puts her in touch with history, this much is true. She loves digging up relics and imagining what life was like those many years ago. But the truth of the matter is, beyond the thrill of the hunt, being outdoors, in the dirt, having an intimate connection with nature—what BETTER way to spend the day?
