ask her why she has so many shoes !! It worked for me anyways .. LOL
 

Tell her,..you won't see a golfer hitting the course with just one club. They're all different but the same.
 

Ask her, "Girlfriends or detectors, your choice."
 

Just say, now you listen here little lady, I'll do as I please and fetch me my beer and don't you even think of bringing me a warm one! Then report back to us how it went! Lol jk

Hmm, both have buttons that could be pushed by accident!

For all the hobbies I have, I have gotten my wife into them as well. I have found that if you want stuff you'd better get her involved! She loves MD'ing. You should see her dig! Sounds like you have a pretty nice collection going! Good luck! HH!

That sight might just become more "colorful " after the horn is blown! [emoji12][emoji90]

I think I saw that guy in my yoga class! :tongue3:
 

Buy here a luxury SUV which has more room than the current vehicle you drive on vacation. More room for more detectors, Problem Solved...

While not exactly luxury were actually in
The new to us SUV this time.
Instead a little ford escort.
New truck already seem crowded.
 

Just pack a swim suit and sweatpants more room for detectors!!! problem solved....
or....
fill car up as you are getting ready to leave 9 or 10 detectors 5 or 6 scoops... you get the idea....
then when the little lady gets out there say I have to pair this down I'm taking too much stuff....
take 1 detector out problem solved!!! :)
 

She will probably ask "why don't you just get a CTX and be done with it?" All you really need to cover almost every type hunting except maybe heavy duty prospecting.
 

Wait until you buy it then explain. Its all in the timing.
 

I have two reasons:
1.) It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission
2.) To give her more jewelry

My girl was getting tired of me always saying," I'm gonna hit the beach tonight after we go to bed. Around 1am til 5 or so) Then once I started giving her the Silver she didn't mind much. We've agreed that the gold stays in my pocket.
 

when she ask why you need another detector, just tell her the truth, "I don't need another detector, I just want it, just like with you". Be prepared to duck at this point!:icon_thumleft:
