My wife used my 31" Sampson and she doesn't even metal detect

[Bruinvikes]

My birthday was the other day and my wife bought me a Garrett carrot, a metal detecting book and hands me a piece of paper, I flip it over to find this (pictured). She tells me that she buried 119 targets. The funny thing is that she's never gone on a hunt with me, nor does she have any interest, but I swear that I don't see any evidence of her cutting plugs on any of the property, lol! So far I have retrieved 21 targets, a handful of wheat pennies and buffalo nickels, a one ounce copper round, a one ounce copper bar and a one gram silver bar.

Are you into wife swapping---or just loaning???

That is great! Give the woman a hug and take her to dinner.

She is a keeper. You treat her right!

Thanks everyone! She definitely is a keeper. I realized this well before this gesture. I'm not sure how I can return the favor to her though? I really wish that she'd get into the hobby, but she has no interest at all. Maybe I should use that Sampson and bury her car keys and hand her my F2?

That's a real nice story, thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes and the kind comments regarding my wife. We will just keep them between you and I, she'll get a big head if I tell her.

Bury some diamond rings in the yard and then see if she'll consider detecting! Oh, not too deep and make a fall back map just in case. Years ago I had a church member who buried her husband (cremation urn) in the backyard and ten years later forgot where- she wanted to sell the house, but was afraid to leave him! I had not started detecting then or I could have been a hero.

That's awesome.Your wife is a great sport.

To return the favor on her birthday, you can always set up a treasure hunt with a map, like that movie national treasure. Makes something extra special out of the birthday.


And happy birthday!

Your one lucky man.
