My detecting hobby budget problems.

Ever get the stink eye from your wife when you mention buying a new detector? Or even worse when you just go ahead and buy one and one day she says isn't that another new detector?

Of course when I bought a new CTX3030 detector I told her it was the cheapest model in the CTX line.

Now here is the truth. If I could swapped my detector budget with the toy budget of my two grandsons 5 & 7 years old I figure last year I could have...

bought a new CTX3030, New Etrac, New Nox 800, pre-ordered a XP Deus II and bought a group hunt metal detecting tour over to the UK.

Of course the grandkids would not have gotten many new toys last year.

You think I am joking?

We are expecting our third granddaughter to be born sometime in March, Yes they can be expensive but I get a lot more fun out of them than I do out of a new detector, and I also hope that at least one of them might want to hunt with me someday when they're old enough.

My wife doesn't care what I buy.

I want to know how she knows when I buy something new. I swear she has the serial numbers on all my detectors and fishing reals memorized. I will walk by her and she says"that's new when did you bur that?"

I want something I buy it, that simple, be it a new screwdriver or a new car. My wife gives me no grief because what’s my money is my money, and what’s my money is her money.
