DFX WITH DX-1 PROBE AND XLT WITH XL-1 PROBE
I bought an XLT for myself expecting to be "wifeless" at the local parks. That lasted one weekend. She took over so fast I had to buy a DFX for me ;) Now, we are the happiest pair in the parks. Maybe I would have some time alone if I switched to a speedo, black socks and sandals. What an awesome hobby. :) By the way, we fight over returnable bottles and change at redlights, while the kids try to hide under the seats. lol

My wife used to get embarrased even thinking someone she knew would see me out playing in the dirt. I managed to take her out detecting once at a beach and all she kept saying was that people were looking at her. She found a silver half, merc. dime, and some wheaties in the dry sand that day and didn't know why I was excited for her finding "pocket change." I never got her to join me again. She liked all the rings I brought her and would ask me when I was going detecting at the beach again.

My wife gets tired of digging 'junk', but she gives it a try once a week or so. She loves the beach and just suns while I hunt and she says if it makes me happy she is all for it!

Here's how I get my wife involver>

Whenever I go out I remind her when I come home about her most important job. That is dumping the coins out of my treasure pouch, separating them and giving me a count of all the coins. When she is done she always seems to have the same question.....Do you have to bring the coins home so dirty!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

My wife finds no interest in dirt fishing. She gets bored with it real fast.

Plus she does not cherish the thoughts of people seeing me wearing woodland camo and a bright orange shirt...something about color coordinated ;D I keep telling her it's not about the color combinations, it's about comfort...the BDU's are broken in and the shirt is just right for a wide variety of temperatures. She doesn't understand :D
