The theme is interesting. I'd like to give it a try. I don't know if I can because I have my personal matter to take care of. I will try my best.

OMG... an OWC specifically about my other hobby, amazing!
Now I just have to find some time to write a script!
For anyone looking for inspiration, coupled with me looking an idiot, check out my detecting channel on Youtube...

Sweet! My wife and I bought a detector after watching The Detectorists on ACORN TV. We've only taken it out a couple of times, but, hope to do more.
Also, for anyone who hasn't seen it, The Detectorists is a really good show. Subtle, but fun.
