Isn't that what mother in laws are supposed to do? Don't worry, if it wasn't the MDing I'm sure it would of been something else.

My mom in law didn't get it either...until I started to bring home shiny things she could pick from as my gift to her.
She got on board pretty quickly after the first one.

Why do you care what she thinks? Live life for yourself and ignore the naysayers.

Monsterinlaw! Lol..that’s what I think they can be anyway
My mother in law, she's 84.
She helps me dig some times.
She when she is digging, she would say, David reckon the detector is lying to us.lol
Now, using the Etrac or CTX I would tell her, I don't think so.
And sure enough pop goes the weasel, a coin.
Now I have had her help me using Deus.
She doesn't like that one.
She says it lies too much!! Lol
You know what?
She's right.

haha. I never realized the "stigma" that md'ing has in some people's minds. Until my wife and I got ready to move into the new house we were buying. It was built in 1963-ish. I mentioned that I was going to metal detect our own yard. The first words out of her mouth was: "What if someone sees you?" 
As if .... it's such a social stigma oddity, ... that the neighbors might think we're weird or something ?

LOL she wants them to at least meet you face to face before they find out how weird you are!
Like a person sitting for hours with a fishing pole is not "strange"..
Maybe not so much back in the day,,folks fished for food for survival.
Today not so much.
What about knitting??
Oh, this is not done usually in the public's eye is it?!
Whatever floats one's boat I say, as long as legal.

Hey, you got me thinking, when you really think about it, if you tried to explain the game of "golf" to someone who never heard of it (well, you use a stick to hit a tiny white ball into a tiny hole and whoever does it in the least amount of tries wins") ........they might think "what a strange game !"

I showed My mother-in-law my finds and detector. She Seed Rob, please your not 75 your not old... I tried to explain its for all ages but she just repeated your not 75....
That's the response I get from just about everyone that knows I detect. I'm not sure why...I try to explain the interest in history and the excitement of finding something that hasn't been seen or touched in decades, but they still don't get it. That's quite alright with me. I don't do it for anyone except myself. Great hobby and I'm glad I found it.

Strange also if your interest is owning a dog... can you imagine a Martian spaceship looks down see's me walking my dog with pooper scooper...he would say move on no intelligent life on planet.
When subject A appearing could be a little intelligent follows subject B dumb dog to clean up.
the human brian is still evolving they would mutter under thier or is it their breath and zoooom away.Or riding like Superman with only a salt field under the rubber.
