When your husband is driving down a particular street, you keep driving him crazy by saying"I wish we could detect there!"
Every weekend you check craigs list and lost and found adds, just in case......
You get excited seeing sports being played in green fields, knowing of all the stuff that could get lost,and be just waiting for you to find it.
You have more sand in your yard or floor than at the beach.
You see other people's jewelry and wish they would lose it.
When you get home after being out, and your freinds and neighbors ask what you found.
On friday night you and your honey are researching where to go and how the weather will be, and making sure batteries are good, and your in bed early!
You get excited when you hear there will be a low tide.
The fishermen know you by name, and appreciate the lead you give them.
At the farmers market, your favorite food stall asks "The usual?" and then ask what you have found lately.
When you pay to get into parks, and the people in the booth know you and let you know if anything was lost, before you even say anything!
Your terrified of spiders, but yet you don't hesitate to go after your target!
You figure out how to dig that good signal, sitting under a big pile of dog poo.
You and your honey have a bet who will find enough to pay for slurppies, usually he wins! LOL

I just remembered another one, your husband offers to get your nails done nice again, and I say why? They'll just get in the way and break when I'm playing!!!! LOL Red

...you have permanent mud stains on the knees of your jeans.
...you get that really "great" feeling when you return the gold ring to it's owner.
...when you dream about what your next machine is going to be (even though you love the one you now use).
...you've given up all your other hobbies so you have more time to detect.

When you bump a coiled copperhead snake in the head with your coil to be sure he is not sitting over a civil war relic. Never mind how you would have moved him if he had been over something good.

When you are searching beaches with your detector, and fools yell out of their car windows: Are you searching for a gold mine?

..When you are more concerned with charging your detector battery than you are your cell phone...
..When you get angry that you can't find a tool-belt that perfectly fits your garrett pro-pointer
..When your industrial sink is filled with dirty clad that you promise the wife you "will definitely take care of tommorow."
..When there are bottles filed with wheats and olive oil covering your laundry room.
..When you always have to turn around and check out the road "schoolhouse lane" or "old church road" that you just passed by.
