Being in the female minority of the hobby, I am always happy to hear or read about other women detectorists.
I came upon an article on detecting365.com by Whit Hill, aka “Dirt Girl”, a woman detectorist out of Tennessee who writes with humor, and thankfully for this fan of adjective’s, includes a lot of detail.
As I read her detecting adventure, I felt as if I were there and couldn’t help but chuckle as she described her metal detecting prayer, with it being eerily familiar to one I often recite myself.
The girls got grit–feminine, yet bad ass at the same time. She’s got a great passion for the hobby, and I’m looking forward to reading more of of her adventures. Click on the link to read Whit’s story I’ll Never be Hungry Again.
Ha! Civil War Elephant—–how hysterical! Extremely entertaining and very well written—–luved it! I’d say to Whit—give up your day job and keep on writing…..and digging of course!
I laughed out loud at the elephant. Too funny! Glad I could share some chuckles.
Very nice. Whit Hill is the bomb. She’s also an excellent musician and singer. Nice to know there are plenty of excellent female detectorists out there!
We’re a small but hopefully growing minority.
Mother Nature was kind enough to bless a few of us with the hunting instinct (or maybe it’s the foraging instinct gone awry)? Whatever the case, detecting is just so much darn fun!
