The Wife is Learning.. But Stay Away..!

[fastdraw]

The wife has been learning with her Vanquish 540 for several months now, and she's just now starting to understand the concept. She's very non-technological. She is finally in just the past 3 weeks started to pull up coins and artifacts. It's difficult,.. but I keep my mouth shut and walk far away and I don't even look in her Direction. She refuses to take any advice... and it's taken me several months to just let her learn the hard way. But she's now really starting to get into it. So maybe I was the jerk for the first few months...???

It’s possible you just answered your own question

sometimes we just need to let go and allow them to learn on their own. Sounds like she is getting the hang of it. I feel you did the right thing by allowing her to learn on her own. It’s the best type of experience To get in the field: trial and error.

Some people jump in with both feet.
Some people it creeps up on.
Then when you start finding the good stuff your hooked.
Now you have a detecting buddy not sure if that's good or bad?

My luck would be she finds a big gold ring on her first try and asks me whats so hard???

Might be bad if she starts finding all the treasure

fastdraw 'We 'all of us' already knew that you 'loved your detecting buddy'! The jury is in, brag on her, by telling her how far she has progressed and watch her learn quickly for another compliment! Confucius say, 'happy wife' 'happy husband'! lol ROFL

Sounds like she is just working on “getting in the zone” as I call it,where a person becomes one with the detector....if she stays on this course she might teach you a thing or two lol.. as long as she is enjoying herself that’s all that matters..

Any way a husband and wife can spend quality time together is a good thing .. Now throw a couple of metal detectors into the mix ... Then quality time together is more enjoyable , fun and even a little competitive .. That being said .. My wife and I are going away Oct. 1-4 . Beach hunting on Cape Cod some good spots where I have found some older silver and gold .. Can't wait . She has a Fisher F-19 pink camo unit with the Garrett Z link .wireless headphones and pinpointer. I have the Equinox 800 .. Should be a good time..

By the way , we never go into the National Seashore area . " it is illegal to metal detect there" . Most of the old shipwrecks happened along that part of the Cape . Very treacherous waters .
