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

When you dig up a rusty beer can with triangular shaped holes punched in the top and you say to yourself. "This sure brings back memories, I wonder if I can find the church key."

When you can't find nothing in your garage, but know where every last relic or coin is...

how about buying a brand new white pick up, then getting a hard hat and an orange vest so people think you work for the city and wont ask questions when you detect the right of way in front of their house.

you know you're addicted when you record the tones from different targets into your MP3 player and listen to them back and forth from work. I also listen to them in bed :)

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

when you receive LED lights that clip on your hat and cammelbacs as well as other equipment from family at Christmas, Just so your hands are free when crawling into those holes.

When your partner threatens to carry you out on his back to look at a new sign or marker when your back is out.

When you realize you would rather be out following a trail than sitting down to a family reunion. And get in trouble because you used a pause in the conversation to check the computer for email from one of your treasure hunting Buddies.

Yup, done all that too.

Hey I got the neatest little tiny LED light, it is about 300 candle power, and clips right to the brim of my hat. It's the coolest.

LOL
