Professional Detector Users?
Does anyone know how many (if any) professional detector users there are in the U.S.?

Hello mate,
Welcome to the best darn Metal Detecting Forum anywhere. I am not sure what makes somebody a professional in our Hobby. Most of us here follow a set of guidelines when we detect that ensures that we act like professionals when we hunt. And there are some of us that spend a lot of time hunting with a detector and find considerable treasures at times but I do not know anyone yet that detects as a business or full time job. It is a very interesting question and thanks for posting it. Maybe others here can give an answer...

Welcome Colin...I met a couple of folks who hire out their services to insurance companies to search for lost jewelry items...they are paid a negotiated percentage of the insured value of the recovered item...not sure if they're paid anything if unsuccessful....even so - this isn't a full-time occupation for these folks...

pro detectorists
Does that include companies that locate utilities (pipes cables) and Power companies? In Denver I met a gentleman that could find and depth a pipe with dowsing rods better than a $3000 machine. Here in Arizona APS & SRP have people trained with detectors and a detector that can locate a fault by the current being passed into the soil. Sure a lot more than you'd think.
