Significant Other And Your Metal Detecting Hobby, Good Idea Or Bad Idea??

Ok, vote in, let's see what your thoughts are on this subject!!

My wife finds a 1908 silver half dollar within the first hour of her trying out Metal detecting, with a BH Tracker IV no less, go figure? She never went again, said it was too easy??

It was almost a year before I found a silver half. ? Sure didn't stop then! What did you find that day?

It's a bad idea if she turns out to be better than you at it.  No good can come from that scenario...unless she begs out like Doogy's better half.

I have hunted most of my life, my wife started 4 years ago. I always find lots of stuff but from the very beginning 90 percent of the time she comes up with a great find or bucket lister! I just shake my head.

She got a sister?

I think this is a blessing in disguise. You can use this event to build her up as a “natural”. Now you can use this as an “excuse” to sell her on your spending more time out MD’ing to refine your “subpar” skills in attempt to become as good as her at finding the goods. I recommend you run with it. ?

My Wife passed from cancer in October. She had no interest in detecting, but she absolutely loved me coming home...asking how I did, and me handing her my finds box. She was very supportive and into my finds!
