2. Your yard looks like a minefield
3. Real Estate agents know your name and make and model of your vehicle
4. you subscribe to the newspaper for the Lost and Found section only
5. The guy at the jewelry store feels sorry for you and offers to give you a ring that is real gold.
6. kids (and adults) follow you around in the park dropping pennies for you
7. you own every garden tool in Wal-marts' garden section because your too cheap to buy a really good tool
8. you have enough stuff to open your own antique store, if you only knew what half the stuff was
9. your family thinks your having an on-line affair with someone on Western & Eastern Treasure Magazine forum
10. You are forbidden from bringing your detector to any family functions, school events, work, vacations adn are forbidden from volunteer work at nursing homes -something about the frequency interferes with pacemakers
Now my personal ones
1. You start talking in the pirate voice when kids ask you if you are looing for pirate treasure - and you scare the hell outta them
2. Your family refuses to be seen with you wearing your typical clothes - BDU pants, T-shirt (ususally not color coordinated), wide brim hat, pouch and tools
3. You no longer notice the opposite sex while traveling, but you can id a machine of the guy in the park while driving by.
4. You hobby cost surpasses the mortage payment
5. The family can no longer ride in the van, you have at least 2 machines and assorted tools loaded
get the idea?
