My wife came home from work yesterday and ask "where did you get those grass stains on your pants". I lied to her about how hard I worked all day. There needs to be a disclaimer on metal detectors. "Using this device may me habit forming and detremental to relationships".

That's a good start. As you get to know your detector and get more experience, you will increase your finds. This is such a great hobby because you just never know what you will unearth next.

last Friday was the first day I've had off since purchasing our DFX ... I spent about 5 hours out in our back yard (too cold to get far from a source of heat) trying to learn how to figure out what the detector was trying to tell me ... I deliberately dug objects that it said were foil or bottle caps and it was correct ... I'm up to 29 cents 
, 2 dimes and 9 pennies, none of which are worth much to anyone but me ... back in the 70's we had an area where we did considerable target practice where I can find all of the bullets I could ever want ... here again none of them are of any $$$$ value but hopefully the practice in using the machine to locate them will payoff
