Not interested in the least. She doesn't ever ask me about what I found. She thinks the whole thing is stupid.

 

[rjwalker]

Yup, I'm a lucky guy that she enjoys the hobby as much as I do. She uses an AT Pro for city parks and a White's GMT for gold prospecting.

My wife only hunts the competition hunts, which she likes very much. All the other types of detecting she doesn't care for. She lets me pursue my hobbies and trusts that I won't go overboard. That's why I only have 8 or 10 detectors at a time.

My other half has no interest what so ever in detecting,she finds it rather boring,she has never complained or objected,she just lets me get on with it,after all these years she would think that something must be seriously wrong with me if i did not go out tecting.

I popped a plug and she saw a worm.... She was moving backward so fast her feet went out from under her.
She was content to just seize any jewelry I brought home-especially gold.

My wife thinks my hobby is great. She does think I look like a "nerd" in my detecting get up(knee pads, headphones, and work belt) She does not call me a nerd when she claims the occasional gold jewelery that I find. She has never joined me on a detecting venture in my twenty years of detecting and I sort of like the solitude.

Tolerates it most times... but doesn't like my daily date with low tide during shore vacations... she has no real interest in hobby but does like the occasional cool piece of jewelry. ..

thank my luck stars !!!!!

My wife is the best hunting pard I've ever had!-----She's as crazy about detecting as I am--maybe more so.

 

[still looking 52]

Everytime I come home with 5 or 6 dirty old coins that are worth less than a dollar she just grins and says, as long as your having fun I guess it's worth it. At that point I'm totally worn out, my back is aching and I'm dirty from head to toe and I say I love this hobby. Then she just shakes her head.

I am an Old Geezer. My wife loves the fact that I have an interest that keeps me moving. She has no interest in Detecting. Her hobby is making Blue Ribbon Winning Quilts.

 

[Dan-Pa.]

Over the last 25 years just accepted with no interest...Guess its payback since she got sick as only been out several times since I found her on the floor like the commercial and doubt if I will get out again unless she has company..A stroke, major cancer surgery with partial lung and a heart attack over the last several years gave me a new outlook on life but she is now in remission..At 79 one of these days my equipment is classified bound...

My wife has never really been interested in metal detecting, but several years ago she came out where my partner and I were hunting. I set up a Garrett 250 for her and dang it she found three gold rings in about two hours. She has not touched a metal detector since....Jack

And yet somehow ....... the women's lib. movement would have us believe that there is no difference between men and women, except the plumbing ?
