Metal detecting. I've found a ton of old stuff from relics, old coins, to complete junk. a few things of the top of my head would be a rusted gun with bullets in it, an old sundial, and lots of old coins worth much more then their face value, I'm at the point I pretty much know what I'm digging up before I dig it just from knowing my detector and practice. I also know how to find the right places to detect. I enjoy hiking through the woods in search of old home sites. I find them all the time too. The trick is looking through locations near water, then looking for wells, foundation stones, chimneys, or any other clues that say humans lived there anywhere from the 17, 18, or early 1900's. Then I detect the site, or if there is too much nails/iron i use a sieve and see what I find. You never know what treasure you will find in the dirt, and I have a huge collection to prove it!

We should go to Sudan and look for gold and diamond nuggets in the desert

That would be amazing tbh. I'd love to explore the world and find as much history/treasure as possible.

Physics nerd that's it... the world operates according to maths is how I see it though my brain likes to fluff it up.

I also have a collection of rare magic cards and small boxset of pokemon cards.

I may also have a collection of old consoles in my garage...

I may also have a garage with weird inventions.

I may also have a shrine of things that people ever gave me that I found special such as a bottle cap.

I may also play too many computer games for my own liking.

I live and breath alcohol and coffee to the point that I know the actual chemistry behind most drinks.

I'm more of a science nerd. I will share all kinds of information about animals, outer space, etc.
Neat, what do you think is the likelihood that we'll make it to another habitable planet?
I've heard of of the most habitable places in our solar system and Callisto (Jupiter's Moon)

Titan (Saturn's Moon)



In my opinion, no basic on a couple reasons like oxygen, tempture, food, water, soil, etc. It's too many problems we have to face.

How about exoplanets not within your solar system? Sure we'd need to perfect near light speed travel, but with the funding and ingenuity, we could get several concepts off of the ground a in a few years.
