Welcome to the world of retirement...black socks are optional...let us know how retirement agrees with you. Remember to get out detecting a lot unless you will drive your wife up the wall....good luck and best of health to you.

Congrats Ivan. Sorry about the COPD, just take it slow and easy. I really don't think you should wear black socks with sandals, but if that's what you want, do it. I retired three years ago...actually laid off. Had to take early retirement or starve as no one wants to hire someone 62 years old. Have fun & find lots of treasure to supplement your retirement income! ;D

Better watch out!

If it's medical they'll be watching you bending over all day and digging holes. They might give you a new job, and you'll have to change your T-Net name to Ditch digger.

Have fun!

Black socks with sandals are fine... but you need to add a pair of plaid bermuda shorts,
and one of those snappy hats they used to wear in the 60's.

Ivan,
Cool. Now you have the time to do what you WANT to do.
COPD ain't so bad. I was on oxygen 24/7 for the first 3 months of this year. Haven't needed it since ;)
Black socks+ sandals is a REQUIREMENT, I'm afraid. So isn't plaid shorts and striped shirt ::) ::) ::) ::)
Relax, enjoy........just chill 8)

Congrats on retirement!

Please! Only striped toe socks, and the pants have to be belted at the mid chest, that way when you bend to dig all the finds your going to be having more time to get, the pants wont make you look like a plumber! :D ;D

Ivan: You bring to mind the old cliche,

"1/2 the salary, twice as much husband hanging around demanding service".

Lots to see, lots to do, and lots of digging too. ::)
