HELP!... I am addicted to this site...

[search and recovery]

I think I have gotten treasure fever. Is there a cure? ...I just bought a Whites dual frequency machine last month. Went to the beach twice. Found two rings, one of which was junk stainless the other my honerable mention (picture by my name), and yesterday I ordered a Teknetics G2 for finding gold in the dry sand. So much for all the overtime I worked this month just to afford it. I am falling in love with beach hunting. Have I lost my mind? Have any of you gone through this? Is there a cure? Oh man, this is fun! By the way have any of you used the G2 on the dry sand? Thanks for taking the time to listen to a crazy man, and this site just adds fuel to the fire like you wouldn't believe!

Addicted..... hummm I have been doing this every spare second for 29 years and 4 months and...
1 husband
4 boyfriends
but I wouldn't call it an addiction, I think it, or me is getting better,
just surround yourself with people who don't mind sand in the bed.
good luck

I wouldn't call it and addiction, More of like a compultion to dig holes at the beach and find money and jewelery .
Nothing wrong with that... Right.

You know your addicted when the first thing you look at on a pretty lady in a bikini at the beach is her hands to see if she has any jewelry on or when you start following someone in the water with nice jewelry on in hopes it will fall off........

I admit it... I'm addicted. Another way you can tell if you are addicted is:

You know you're an addict when you hit refresh on the Beach & Shallow Water forum about 10 times per minute to see if anyone has posted something new.

It's addictive , my closet is full of detectors . These forums are addictive too. But I can't think of a better addiction .You never know what you'll find , and you'll make same great new friends.

You know your an addict when the grocery scanner beeps and you say " That's a solid quarter".

This site gets me through those long periods of time when I can't hunt due to work. I just read the post with my mouth watering. Also great for meeting fellow hunters . I have meet and hunted with a lot of awesome people in 3 different countries through Tnet.

You know you are addicted when you go into a courthouse and want to talk about the scanner the officer is using - I actually did this.


If I am an wrong to want to detect all the time, then I don't want to be right........................................
