You Know You're Truly Addicted to Treasure Hunting when...

This is a shameless bump of my own post from March 2006, but its been 2 years since I posted it and I have some more to add...ENJOY!!

1. You glance in the McDonald's donation boxes at the counter, hoping maybe to spot a Wheatie.
2. You look at EVERY coin you receive and jiggle your pocket at the end of the day, listening for the sounds of silver, just in case you had missed in during the day.
3. Not only are you willing, but look forward to battling snow, penetrating sun, poison ivy, and an occasional dog.
4. You refer to old coins as Wheaties, Barbies, Mercs, and Buffs.
5. You spot a crooked tree and swear it points to gold.
6. Finding several dollars in clad is actually unfulfilling.
7. Your weekend trip to the beach requires a sand scoop.

[glow=red,2,300]8. You own 15 different digging tools, but only use 1.
9. You "accidently" jam the Coinstar machine and ask the teller if you can have the contents of the trash tray. TRY IT, IT WORKS!!!
10. You have almost wrecked on numerous occasions because you spotted a foundation or old house.
11. Digging in your church clothes is necessary at times.
12. You meet the in-laws for the first time and immediately direct the conversation to questions about the history of their property...(haha, my girlfriend was pissed!!)
13. You stop on the way home at a dumpster outside of a house to check the contents.


FEEL FREE TO ADD MORE!!!!


I have actually done every one of these

You guys are all nuts ! And I am so proud to be a member of this elite "crazy club"!
How about.....
......at parent -teacher conferences, you again get chastised because your children are still spending their recess's digging holes in the sandbox,woodchip piles ,and school lawn!
......you get irate phone calls from parents ,because your daughter trades candy for old coins and actually has quite a nice business going.
.....your children can track you in the woods ,by reading "dirt scratchings"
.....when you are shopping , and the kids see something they really want...they say"beep beep beep " real loud!

.....the kids can't find the plastic easter eggs with the coins inside, cause you had them buried so you could detect them.

Happy Easter Everyone !!

I got all Misty when I read this thread ;D How 'bout when the wife asks you how was work and you say "I got everything done that I wanted to" ;)
 

Re: You Know You're Truly Addicted to Treasure Hunting when...

When treated poorly at a business or store instead of filling out a customer report, you pay for your purchase with roll(s) of dirty, crusty coins. This gets a little hectic when the store owner exclaims "wow! I just ran out of quarters" and cracks it open....where's Dave? Gone faster than you can blink! It gets really bad when an article appears in the paper about someone paying with dirty change. I'm sorry guys, I guess I'm a gansta. 8)
Business owners: You better not dis me, or else I'll do a drive by with my dirty rolls and you'll wish you never........

1.)You try waving different types of coins through the metal detector at the Airport and ask why only one "tone"
2.) You get a job running the metal detector at the Airport and get fired the first day for trying to keep your "finds"
