been reading forum for two week

[John 'n' W.Va]

Two weeks ago I had the flu and could not go out MD. This past week my wife has the flu and I could not MD. It has gotten me to start reading this forum. I am a MD junkie and I had to get my fix. Well I had some business in Daytona Beach today and my wife suggested the salt air would be good for my lungs. That was the hint my wife was feeling better and I could crank up my Ace 250. Oh happy day! I got there early, just before sunrise, kicked off my shoes, and away I went. I hit the showers, they are on the beach and people throw their things on the rail then shower. It was low tide and the wet flats looked like there could be some Spanish gold. Had to turn the sensitivity down. No gold just pennies. I went back up to dryer territory. Full speed ahead! Oh no the trash cans. They are elevated on posts and people miss the cans with their trash. I get a hit next to the can 6+ between tab and penny. It is deep, but I won't let sugar sand stop me. It took me 3 scoops with my extra large ice scoop/ coin retriever. I get all hyped up, but I know it is just going to be a pop tab. As I sift the sand though my fingers out pops a diamond and gold ring. I like that sentence because that is what I had at that moment. It was shinny gold. I found out later it was gold plated with 7 zirconium. I found 6 fake rings this year and that was the best looking one yet. I found a gold ring this summer appraised at $300 and a nice sterling sliver with a 1 caret zirconium. My Ace 250 is paid for.

That is a real nice looking ring. It's always a pleasure to meet another detector junkie. This is a great support group to belong to!

That is a nice looking ring. Hope you're fully rid of that flu. I've been lucky, haven't had the flu or a cold in over 15 years but then I have an immune system that won't quit.

Yeah we're all junkies. Wonder if they have a rehab system for detector addicts.

As youve learned, thre is more junk than jewel and that holds true for rings, too. However, that ring is a beaut' and will make a nice display. And, even if for only a moment, your heart skips a beat and you say, "Oh, wow!..." You can relive the trill for many days and that, too, is worth your money.

The couch potatoes will never know that moment.

Who wants rehab? My habit has a lot of good benefits and it pays me. I know I have it bad when I read the paper and find out Buffalo has gotten 2 feet of snow. I am thinking how are they going to MD in 2 feet of snow. They are going to have to go to a much bigger coil to get the depth they need and then they are going to lose out on the small things. Besides it is wet snow the ground is not frozen yet.

I AM TELLING YOU THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME!!!!!!!
I am a good husband to my wife. I don't mind taking her places. It give me a chance to scope out new MD sites. I will drive her everywhere, but once in a while she has to sit in the HOT car and Listen to the radio while I MD a possible site. She always knows what's on my mind. Hint: It is not women. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME. NOW TAKE BACK WHAT YOU SAID.

We all have basically the same problem, just go about it in different ways.
