Does your wife or spouse think your weird for looking for stuff in the dirt.My wife always gives me a strange look when I have on my knee pads, head phones and swinging my detector like a mad man.I cant be the only one who gets this reaction!She says I look goofy

My ex fiance thought i looked like a dork out there. And hey i do look like a dork but i dont care.

I embarrass my wife by checking the papers that blow against the fenceline whenever we go shopping. It has paid off several times with ones, a couple of fives, a twenty and once i found an envelope containing $500.00.

Well, my wife may think I look like a dork, but she sure is an angel for letting me go out and play all day. She don't get it when I bring home my "junk", but she understands how excited and happy I get when I bring home a civil war relic or old dime. She thinks its silly, but knows those old crusty things make me a happy man.

My wife thought I was nuts.....until I started bringing home jewelry. My soon-to-be 5 year old daughter thinks MDing is cool. Oh yeah, I jump out of the car at red lights to pick up change off the ground. She loves that!

My wife doesnt mind me mding but she wont go unless its at the beach.

 

[lumbercamp]

If I'm not out digging, my wife thinks that there must be something wrong with me. And she doesn't mind the rusty metal in the house either. There are some good women out there.

I'm lucky to have a tolerant (sometimes amused) wife; but she does see how happy the hobby makes me, so for that I'm grateful.

But now I've talked about trying gold panning
and her response is:

 

[Stacylee926]

My hubby definitely thinks I am nuts! He refused to let me do the front yard when I first got my MD (I finally did it when he wasn't home).

I have desperately tried to get him to go with me at least once. Last Sunday we spent a 'family day' together. On the way home I REALLY wanted to MD at a school. He allowed me to stop, but he stayed in the car and read - lol! He admitted to watching me a few times. It was the first time he kinda sorta went with me. I'm still working on him and I WILL get him to swing the MD with me at least once.

My wife still thinks I look goofy with all my gear on but she's gotten used to it since it keeps busy and outta her hair. She's only really intertested when I bring home silver or gold jewelry [aren't they all interested then!]. If I can just get some one to water and mow my yards for free you would never see me home on my days off.

 

[northeast hunter]

Yea she thinks it's a strange hobby but encourages me to get out and hit the dirt.When i bring home the goodies she goes through what i have found and she gets excited when there are some old coins or jewelry..
She even bought me a nice pinpointer and 10 inch coil for Christmas.

hubby doesn't know what to think, or why I get excited pulling a regular penny out of the ground after pulling junk out for an hour. He tried it but he doesn't have a very long attention span. He dug a tin can that was super deep, and a piece of foil, handed me the detector back and that was it. What gets me is that he got a new gun, a 12x6 utility trailer, a 5500 generator, a 4wheeler, lumber to build 9 deer blinds, and a couple other things since DEC. but he is balking at me wanting to get a gti 2500 . Maybe its time to find one on ebay super cheap!!!) or at least make him think it was cheap.

I feel much better since I'm not the only one,the knee pads,bag and all the gear is going to be strapped on tomarrow.Going for the silver. Nothing holding me back now. LOL!!!

 

[Mighty AP]

My girl isnt overboard like I am but she has her own machine (prizm3), her own pinpointer, kneepads & I made her a nice diggin tool fer Christmas! She has found 3 rings, several nice pendants & a nice lil pile of money! I try to give her tips & pointers & she gets a lil pissy with me, wants to figure it all out by herself so I go my way & she goes hers. Its kinda cool sharing a hobby with my better half but she keeps the jewelry she finds & picks the nice stuff I find fer herself!

 

[ivan salis]

Re: embarrasses wife ---a nice ring or two found for her will "cure" it

funny how that works. Ivan

 

[swingman]

I try to stay away from anyone who has such strong judgements about something innocuous, especially involving 'how it looks'. Unfortunatley that's hard in your situation.

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

She thinks I look goofy whether I'm detecting or not. No worries.

 

[Kas]

I don't care what my wife thinks about my detecting. I'm going hunting anyway.
