[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 594256, member: 4485"] Yes being experienced in something is different from being an amateur or professional in the right context. "Kevin, a detectorist for 20 years," I took the above article to be in that context (being upaid) not that he was inept or incompetent. An example of a professional would be someone like Jonathan Porter. >95% of us on this forum would be amateurs. As a detectorist I'm fine with being called an amateur in the right context. Your level of experience is the difference i.e. 20 years vs. 6 months. Amateur (adjective in context) 1. engaging or engaged in without payment; non-professional. "amateur detectorist finds rare artefact" 2. done in an incompetent or inept way. "a detectorist digging large holes in a manicured park is all so amateur!" [/QUOTE]
