The Writer as Detectorist

America is a mosaic of special interest groups. Dysfunctional examples are political parties. Coffee klatches and bowling leagues serve as benign instances of voluntary associations. Hobbyists congregate around pastimes such as stamp collecting, photography, and scrapbooking. Then there are detectorists who diligently scan patches of ground with mechanisms designed to signal the presence of metallic treasures.
