....who has now become the master!!!
A little backstory: I recently bought a Land Ranger Pro for $230....great machine. Her budget was an extra $100 or so at $350...as she demanded the more expensive and "better" detector if she was to go along with me.
So we have been thinking about a Fisher F44...Tesoro Cibola...Whites TreasurePro....something decent and not a mortgage payment. Something for her to grow into...not out of.
Today I came home and noticed the $300 cash I had on my desk was nowhere to be found....oh boy....and so the conversation began....
Me: Heya babe...what's the deal on the $350 that was on my desk.
Her: Oh...I went ahead and put it in the bank. Ordered my detector since you were taking so long.
Me: Oh really?
Her: That's right.
Me: What did "you" happen to buy....if I may ask?
Her: Well...since you have a Land Ranger Pro, I didn't really want the F44 which is similar.
Me: So you got the Cibola
Her: No...almost bought a Vaquero though. But not sure if I would enjoy the ground balance on it. First Texas and Garrett has treated us well. So I decided to stick to them.
Me: Ok..so what did you get already...an AT Pro?
Her: Nope....A Gold Bug SE with the 5 inch coil. Something simple yet effective in many areas.
Me: What? Why? WTF woman!
Her: Well...you just bought the 5in coil for your Land Ranger Pro...so I wanted us to match and be besties!!!
At this point her being a MMA fighter...and me not being one....is the only reason I didn't throat punch her. Jail sentence be damned!
Her: (laughing) Just kidding babe. I mean...I really did buy a Gold Bug SE with a 5in DD...but not so we could match...but for when we go prospecting we can use it. Also, it will help deal with the terrible iron we have here in eastern Colorado. Not only that...I prefer to hunt parks and schools...and I like to dig everything. Not just coins like you. Which means I don't need all the notch and fancy stuff like the the F19 or T2 or Omega 8500. Just a simple disc knob will work for me. The 5in coil will help me there too...the trashy areas.
Me: Blank stare. Who is this woman.
Her: So there you have it "TheHunterGT" (she said that mockingly). Easy to use...not over-complicated...very powerful....VID and good sound. Don't be jealous...your Land Ranger Pro is pretty awesome too.
So...there I have it. I'll be over in the corner with my nose in the wall....

Ever since I sold my Garrett Scorpion I have missed having that gap filled in the arsenal.
