...when you keep a bucket by the washer to empty out the dirt in your pockets.
...your co-workers don't understand why you are so excited that you found nickels and pull tabs in an old ball field.
...you always keep a metal detector in your vehicle, and often two of them.

 

[Coldshuz]

... when your key chain is missing and you break out your metal detector and pinpointer.

 

[Gold Maven]

when there are piles of odd pieces of metal around your house, that you can't seem to throw away.

 

[Keith Lenahan]

When your spreading a load of top soil and stop to check it as you work the pile down.

... when your boss tells you about 'sensitivity training' and you reply 'it's already full bars'.

... when you hit the slots at the casino and the 'ding ding ding' has you yelling 'silver!'

... when the bank teller asks 'how you want your change?' and you answer 'clad please'.

... when you pull out your ProPointer looking for your lost car keys in the house.

... when for you look for a 'headphones jack' on your weed-whacker.

... when your silverware consists of a fork, a spoon, and a Lesche digger.

... when you try and ground balance your dog's leash before a walk.

... when you try and 'notch' out any TV channel below 40 because you think it's iron.

... when you put a coil cover on your dinner plate.

... when the TSA wands at the airport look like something you need in addition to your pin pointer

... when you have to explain to people all summer why your ears are so white

... when you are happy that you dug the perfect plug out of your mashed potatos for the gravy

... when your microwave 'dings' and you yell out SILVER!

...If you try extra hard to dig your wife something nice out of the ground on her birthday.

. . . when your beach vacation reseach is primarily based on shipwrecks in the area.
. . . when you don't realize 'Wheaties' is also a cereal.
. . . when your 2 sons names are Fisher and Garrett.
. . . when you figure in your sandscoop's weight with your weight on the doctor's office scale.
. . . when you start to believe you actually ARE King Arthur because you own an Excaliber.
. . . when you pass up a pro athlete's autograph for Andy Sabich's autograph.
. . . when you see what your fiance's engagement ring comes up as on TDI before getting an insurance policy on it.
. . . when your garden does not include tomatoes, corn, and cukes, but wheaties, rosies, and barbers.
. . . when your doctor tells you that 'you need more iron' and you confuse him by telling him 'you'll run in all metal mode' then.
. . . when you can draw your pinpointer faster than any cowboy can draw his pistol.
. . . if you've done any of the 3 I've listed here so far.

.......when your neighbors come to you to help find property stakes, city water valves and lost wedding bands.

 

[austin]

When your fiance's parents ask what your goals in life are and you tell them to find: a Liberty Cap half or large cent, a gold cobb and an 09S vdb.

 

[AC1955]

...you dream about new places to detect and the great things you hope to find there.
...you drive by vacant houses (even those for sale) and wonder if you can hunt there.
...you hate rainy days because your knees get wet while digging.
...you want to move south so you can hunt the beaches year round.
...you think about how you can bring your machine on your snowmobile.

When you'd rather go to a football ground to check out where people sit, than to watch the game.

 

[Chips]

When it's pouring down with rain and your more concerned about the detector getting wet than yourself.

 

[Chips]

When you still wear your pro pointer holster even though you can't go metal detecting.
When your detectors costs more than your T.V.
When you power up your detector and scan the floor of your house for fun, because you don't have the time to go out.
It's not the first time that, you have scanned the floor!
When your wife knows, you'd rather be out detecting than seeing a mistress.

 

[Mzjavert]

...when a day without detecting is like a day without sunshine.
