Beach of nails, hooks and Quarter Krona Silver...

Well, got away to demonstrate my new MD and my pinpointer for my Gf.

Went to an old small local beach, the MD beeped all the time, indicating pulltabs, iron and oder crap.
After i got indication of an object, my GF did the digging, resulting in happy faces, she now wants me to bring a spade or better digging tool then my trowler.

In the final hole the MD indicated silver and pulltabs, well out came some alu foil, part of old canring pulltab and a Quarter Krona (25 ?ring) dated in 1936, 60%silver.

Dayfind:
Fishing hooks, nails, old style pullfoil cap, and a big chunk of steel.
Loads of foil and other small metal object, everything went into the local metal recycling container.

GoldDigger1950-

Well my Girlfriend aint much for the MD part, she get excited hunting for treasures so i let her handle the pinpointer and the digging tool, i?m going to buy a military style folding spade and grind it down for a more narrow profile.

It?s a shame that most E-bayers that sell cheap things from the states often take 3x the price of shipping when some offer sheam shipping but have prices 3X the standard.

I?m currently looking for an E-tool Gerber/US Army/Fiskars.

mike;

There are a number of reasons.... they all lead to blanket splitting, if not addressed. Take it from the voice of experience! A few suggestions:

1) a "control" or loss of control thing;
2) some do not like to be alone at night;
3) she has no interest, so you should not (cant argue with that one;)
4) you are out of sight, so she is out of your mind  (she thinks);
5) she does not know how to compete with a hobby she SEES as competition for your attention;

Probably a lot more reasons, all of which you do not think important, but may be VERY serious, to her. The night thing cost me a great security job when some cops went over the roof of my house, shooting at some fleeing bank robbers..... scared the heck out of my wife...... years later, I found out it was my brother-in-law (he was not at that time, but was in the Vancouver City police,) whom I ran into 3 times, in the course of my security job. 

It never pays to ignore the insecurities of you "better half." Not if you want her to stay around. You may have to find a way to make concessions, but then again, nothing may help.
