When your husband is driving down a particular street, you keep driving him crazy by saying"I wish we could detect there!"


Dear Red, I love you with All My Heart!!!! But there Is NO Possible Way to Detect Fort Vancouver National Historic Reservation!!! Love Ya Chug

I know, I know, but I know there are some great relics lying there, underground, just waiting to see the light of day!!!! Red

...you've had dreams about metal detecting.
...you've day dreamed that on your next hunt you'll find a diamond ring worth enough to buy a new truck.

Two hints to prevent that. a) Keep your wallet in your locked truck while out MDing. b) Never put keeps or trash in your wallet pocket. and a third suggestion (free of charge) c) Keep your cell phone is a heavy-duty ziploc bag while MDing.

.....inclement weather keeps you from doing yard work. But not from detecting.
......you start looking at global warming as a positive thing for winter detecting

...Your kids make necklaces with all the clean pull tabs found in the bottom of the washer.

... You spend more time with your beeping stick than your wife.

LOL...I can just picture the late night infomercial...Find treasure with the amazing beep stick. Just swing and when your "Beep Stick" beeps you've found TREASURE. Find coins, jewelry, gold, silver, relics, and caches with the amazing "Beep Stick". It's easy. It's fun. It's incredible. Now with "Beep Stick's" exclusive discrimination control. Eliminate trash items like pull tabs and nails without missing one bit of TREASURE. Yes, you will be finding coins, jewelry, gold, silver, relics, and caches within minutes of getting your fabulous "Beep Stick"

You plan a week in advance where your going to go.
You flip a coin with your husband to decide where to go.
You've worn out more shoes and pants then anything else.
The jewelry you wear is what you've found!

Does the worn jewelry include jewelry found by your spouse?

If you have ever wanted to buy a house or building just so you could detect around it......

If you've ever been dissapointed because the city repaved the street too quickly....... (happened to me recently, I had wonderful visions of what was waiting for me under a French Quarter street tear out, only to find they had worked through the night to repave it :censored: )
