    As far as intended income goes, a combination of running Accounts/Payroll for a recruitment agency, shooting and playing poker.

    Since dealing with CFS for three years now, I also took up metal detecting as a gentle pursuit to get me outdoors without nailing my energy too much. It is a hobby but has turned in to quite a good earner without me intending it to. For example, I currently have the attached item going through the treasure process in the UK. It is an incredibly rare solid gold Medieval Intaglio Seal Matrix dating to around the late 12th/early 13th century. Although the treasure process will likely result in a "reward" of around the £10k mark, it is probably worth closer to £20-25k on the private market. Hopefully it is disclaimed allowing me to put it in to a specialist auction if the landowner (my brother in law) wants to. Me personally, I would rather keep it in my collection as it is stunningly beautiful but my hands may well be tied. We shall see but the British Museum is all over it like a lampshade, so I would imagine they will want it. The hobby does provide a plethora of other fairly valuable finds but my collection is just growing rather than being cashed in. A retirement nest egg if you like. I could also become a scrap metal dealer with the amount of utter crap I dig up.

        Landscaping.
        I make beautiful spaces for people, whether a little corner, a patio, a path, a lawn
        or an entire design and build.

        I do work for myself so have "freedom", if you like.

        Shameless plug, if not can a moderator remove/or request me to?

                  I studied sound & mechanical engineering but I'm currently working full time as a self employed carpenter/builder during the weeks and do a few job's on car's at the weekends, mostly for mates.

                  Due to a drastic change in personal circumstances next year which will allow me to set up a decent premises with adequate space I intend to return to working on cars, as well as breaking them as my primary source of income. Though I may well keep my hand in the building trade part time to keep life interesting as well as make more money of course.

                  Hoping to specialise in all things I5 Audi from the 70's/80's/90's as well as all other VAG cars from that era. I can happily tackle newer stuff, like PD's ,1.8t's, V6't's, & V8's etc. In fact when I was last in the trade on a daily basis it was mostly these cars I worked on but my heart is in the older stuff.

                  Also indulge in a bit of poker on the side and at one point made a meagre living from playing on-line.

                  Use to do a bit of scrap metal trading as well but there's sod all money in that now compared to three or four years ago.
