As a 11 year old in my ignorance I pleaded my mother to get me a Crusader BFO metal detector out of the back pages of a Treasure magazine. Seemed like months before it showed up. Being the All Powerful All Knowing confident self I was I didn't bother reading the one page of instructions. Took me no time figuring out I only had to re tune the thing every ten steps or so. Yep, found my first coin just ten minutes later. A 1954 silver quarter 3ft from the front door. I was DOOOOMED. AFFLICTED ! Never to be the same. Here I am Afflicted with MDBS (Metal Detectorist Brain Syndrome) Being a Progressive Disease at first it was just yards. Neighbors yards, School Yards and Parking lots and Parks. It was only when I found my self wandering Mountain Sides I realized I had some serious issues at hand. Now some 40 years later! If it goes Beep, Wing, Ding, Ping or Woooop I try to find metal with it.
They say I can still live a Somewhat Normal life with the Affliction but I struggle at times.
How do you all deal with it ??
