"All I see in your hand is three green round things" pouses

[Scrappy]

Im so pissed. I went to my wife and told her I was holding history in my hand. I held out a 1732 KG2, an 1787 New Jersey Copper, and a 1809 Large cent. Her reply is the title, and my wife's disregard for my hard earned finds just pissed me off. British, State, and US coppers spanning the most important 75 or so years of US history is f-ing incredible. What gives?!?!

Just venting

THE ADMIRAL would say: "Big deal, 2-1/2 cents. Don't bring them in the house and wash your hands."

Did you brush yourself off for ticks? Don't wash it in the sink as it's dirty and it'll plug up the drain. That's nice.

Though I have to admit that this statement is the winner: "When he gets too old to remember things, I'm going to take all his good finds and go around and bury them again so he can get a thrill digging them up again." Now folks that's love.

Next time she says something to you about something she is into, be it totally stupid and a waste of time, money or energy, consider your response very carefully before saying it! Fly catching with Honey is so much easier than vinegar!
If that approach is unbearable or just has been tried and does not work, remember it is better to be pissed off than pissed on!

Mine has noticed after knowing her for almost 30yrs that my sense of ha-ha goes up after digging some good, that should be worth something.

My wife wants me to find a gold ring. She likes it when I find silver like a Mercury dime too, and she really appreciates "junk bling" like a pretty (but not valuable) angel pin I found. But show her an Indian Head penny and I get a comment like "You just spent two hours in that field and got all dirty just to find that little penny?"

It is sad that some people don't understand history. Ever heard these replys, "This was NOT supposed to turn into a scouting trip" "How come metal detecting revolves around everything you do!" "I'm not going near that poison ivy!" "You already hunted there a billion times, I do not feel like going a place you have already cleaned out!"

Here's my favorite "All I found was this weird piece of trash (Holds out complete shoe buckle frame)"

But fly catching works best with "Manure" I would go with honey though....

I really don't know what to say... I think that you found killer stuff.

You should view it as a good thing. If she was into it, then you would have to take her to your best spots, and buy her a CTX, and when she didn't find anything, it would be your fault. You got it made brother! Treat her like a mushroom... keep her in the dark, and feed her horse manure!

Why sir, I believe that you have been insulted.

I recommend that for immediate compensation and relief you purchase the newest and greatest metal detector that you can find.

Get the one that you always wanted. Prove to her that you are worth every penny! (and copper and farthing)

Ahhh, good from bad. Good philosophy!!

Soooooooooo, what's it worth? Every time.

This is what what I get, " That's great, take that detecting junk out to the garage, and your'e tracking dirt in the house"

Solution is the ol' man cave, and having two bathrooms works well, need some privacy to wash up the better finds.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Well, when I come home the only thing he asks, is if I found any gold. He really doesn't want to bother looking at some dirty old coin with 17.. something on it....sigh.

What do you think my chances are of digging up a chest of gold and dragging it home...ya, I thought so...
So I continue being the family nut.

If your wife gave a damn about old coins she would be sharking your best spots.

 

[basque-man]

Sounds like your wife is a relative to my wife! Handed her an arrowhead once. Ya, she dropped it and it broke in half............Don't show her much anymore and she calls my detecting buddy my second wife! At least he buys beer.......
