MARBLE FALLS â€" Hubert Jackson thought he’d strike it rich in no time, armed with his new metal detector.

“I told my wife I was going to have this paid off in a week,” he said while standing under the pecan trees at Johnson Park in Marble Falls.

Then, he laughed, as did Karen Graham and Betty and Gary Goolsby. They each understood the truth in his statement because, like Jackson, they are metal detector enthusiasts.

“Mostly, we find pull tabs and bottle caps,” he added. “But you never know. Plus, it’s a lot of fun.”

“You’d be amazed how exciting it is to find a penny,” Betty Goolsby added with a smile.

Though they haven’t struck it rich by finding a chest of Spanish coins, the four members of the Highland Lakes Metal Detecting Club said the hobby is rich in fun and adventure.

“You never know what you’re going to find,” Jackson said.
