A Silly Metal Detecting Song

Verse 1:

I wake up early on a Saturday

I grab my metal detector and head out the gate

I search the fields, the forests, and the beaches too

I’m on the hunt for hidden treasures, old and new

Chorus:

I’m a metal detector, a treasure hunter too

I’m always on the lookout for something shiny and new

I love the thrill of the search, the excitement of the find

I’m a metal detector, and I’m one of a kind

Verse 2:

I’ve found coins, jewelry, and ancient artifacts

I’ve unearthed secrets hidden in the darkest parts

I’ve dug up relics from centuries past

I’ve uncovered secrets that were meant to last

Chorus:

I’m a metal detector, a treasure hunter too

I’m always on the lookout for something shiny and new

I love the thrill of the search, the excitement of the find

I’m a metal detector, and I’m one of a kind

Bridge:

I’ve traveled far and wide to find my treasure

I’ve braved the rain and the scorching sun

I’ve searched in valleys and on mountain peaks

I’ll never give up until my treasure’s won

I’m always on the lookout for something shiny and new
