Things you find when you're not looking for them
Been detecting on and off for a number of years and have found a few rings, coins, vintage fishing lures and an assortment of other interesting pieces. Nothing remarkable, but still good finds.
Spent a day last week hunting a beach and park with my girlfriend who is new to metal detecting but a true treasure hunter at heart. We worked an area or two and I gave her a few pointers as we went along the beach. Soon we were just doing our own thing and after a while, I glanced over to see what she was up to. I saw her digging rabidly in the sand, pinpoint a little and dig some more. That's when it hit me -
Looking back, I realize that I walked right past a bunch of promising sounding calls from my detector as I trailed her up the beach watching her hunt and figure out the subtleties of the detector she was using. I was mesmerized. Turns out she REALLY LIKES metal detecting and for some reason REALLY LIKES me. She's awesome and she's my best find.
I'm not sure how I got so lucky but if you ever see a guy and a girl detecting somewhere and the guy has a really big (dopey) smile stuck on his face, stop to say hello.

Holy crap, I have a girlfriend who likes metal detecting!
