Bought the wife a metal detector a few years back, she thought she really wanted one. She's never used it much. Got her the wand thingie too. Never used that much either.
I've found a veritable gold mine with the thing!!! Riches beyond my wildest imaginations! Never would have dreamed I'd find such riches!!!
I've found 16d nails, and 8d nails, and roofing nails, and screws, and welded wire mesh and all literally thousands of other treasures like this!! Now, you're probably sitting there snickering at me, thinking all I've found is trash, but think again.
You see, we had the house built 17 years ago and ever since we've had just a tragic time with flat tires (cars, trucks, tractors, skid steer, lawn tractors...you name it). A standard car tire costs $15 bucks to get fixed. A tractor tire can cost a couple hundred bucks. So, every time I take that damn metal detector out and find what some people might consider worthless garbage, I consider it a treasure indeed, because I just got a free bottle of whisky, or a couple six packs of beer, or a free lunch!!
I love that damn metal detector!
Half full, people! The glass is half full!
