The Detectorists

[Orcs]

Just watching "The Detectorists" again on BBC iplayer.  The similarities between them and wargamers is very frightening

Including crawling around on one's knees looking for tiny bits of metal...and explaining to the SO the absolute necessity of finding them.

Loved this!
When we watched the very first episode of this, the girls both turned to me and said "It's you and your mates!".

I think there's a similar vibe among any set of single minded hobbyists.

For example a former workplace had a group of lads with expensive sportscars.
Their facebooks are full of track meets, exhibition days, "detailing".

They make the greatest grognard look like an amaterr in their geeky obsessiveness.
