It’s probably slightly lower on the hobby scale than metal detecting… there’s no promise of riches. Just the promise of other people’s trash.
Here’s a shirt that pretty much sums up the issue.

Eutychus was a young man who fell to his death because the Apostle Paul preached for too long (Acts 20). I've decided to canonise Eutychus and make him the patron saint of my dalliances around the Internet.
Nathan is a Christian. A husband. A writer. A reader. A coffee drinker. A “spin twit”. A consumer. A fan of stupid gadgets. A fan of staccato lists in profiles.

hehe… that's pretty funny, though I did actually enjoy it when I did it. We wouldn't otherwise have visited Edmond Barton's grave, or found a little waterfall-bushland-reserve in Bondi Junction. Doing it at Southbank, however, does make one feel a little like a terrorism suspect.

You seem to be missing the point. As the often overused phrase goes, "Life is a Journey, not a Destination"

Great shirt – shall have to get one, because it's something that I've got into since getting a phone with built in GPS. You've got an iPhone – you should give it a try (http://www.geocaching.com/iphone/).
Looking for the t-shirt that says 'I use cold war military technology because I don't know how to read a map'.
