What would you enter for metal detecting activity?
I didn't see it listed anywhere. I don't know what I should log it under as its more intense I think than walking since you are also carrying heavy gear, walking, bending, stooping and digging. Sometimes I do 4-5 hours a day so it is very tiresome. In fact on days I detect, my gluts and hamstrings will be aching at end of day more so than if I had done a load of squats at the gym.

The first thing that come to mind is using "gardening" as surrogate. There is a lot of similar movement: walking, bending, digging, and getting up & down off the ground.
