my wife made me look bad!

[crbub]

I have only been detecting a little while. I haven't been detecting much and the oldest thing I'be found is a 1966 penny. So yesterday we leave Texas to go visit my son in Virginia close to Washington DC. So my wife says we Don't have room for my detector in the car. She needs all these clothes but no detector. Go figure. But any way she knows I like old coins. She comes out of a truck stop and says ok look here is you a wheat penny. I am devastated. I can't find one detecting and she goes into a truck stop and gets a 1944 wheat. I may need to get her hooked on the hobby. With a detector who knows what she may find? Oh well I needed to vent to people who might understand my pain. Thanks for listening. I'll just have to hunt harder.
