I forgot to tell her that maybe I'm not in a location where they been drop, anyway I'm getting me a new machine. She all full good to me .:happysmiley:

My wife said the same thing in a way. She asked me why I wasn't going out deeper in the water to get the good stuff so I said well my detector can only go in so far so she said get one that will do the job. She wants some bling!

So I bought an Excalibur II for my B day (its tomorrow) and it is now sitting in my man cave waiting for its maiden voyage. I wasn't allowed to use it until my day was over! LOL

I play the new detector game a little riskier than you guys... first my wife cant tell the difference between a bounty hunter or a CTX 3030... second, she couldn't care less about my toys... maybe she will when I bring home my first ring...

Good Luck with your new detector, my wife is just glad I found a hobby and supports it by getting me the gear I need for birthday's or Christmas. She also does not get upset even though I hunt every weekend (all weekend). I think she's a keeper. 29 years and going strong. :icon_thumright: She knows that she gets dibbs on all the bling I dig. Out of about 50 rings dug, she has only liked one.

Congratulations on the new AT PRO.
You're going to like that machine. It will
do lots of stuff that the ACE 250 can't do.
It will give you better depth, an accurate target identification, the ability to use different coils, and it really does well in fresh water.

Mine likes the fact that I have a hobby I enjoy. But so far it has been my finds that have paid for my upgrades.

My wife is amazed at the historical and old coin finds, but she really doesn't like metal detecting. :dontknow: With that said, she never impedes my pursuit of the hobby. :icon_thumright:

I also move the detectors around the basement and living quarters. This keeps her wondering; how many detectors does he really have... :laughing7:
