Default How come...

How come I get a second full day to use my new detector and its raining???
How come I get my new detector and in a couple weeks the times will be changing back (falling back) and it will be dark when I get off work???
How come my wife is looking at me like Im crazy just because I got my rain gear and LaCrosse knee boots out of the closet???
How come when I try and go to sleep at night Im thinkin about all those old places I wanna hit???
How come I dont have the time to do all this??? (It aint fair Im tellin ya, it just aint fair)
How come as Im sitting here bored and typing this that a thought just hit me (need to get with my ole cousin (hes a machinist and welder) to weld up an aluminum sand scoop and make a couple custom diggers)
How come all this is happening to me???
I would go on but I am sure you guys think me nuts now, but I gotta do somethin,,its raining outside.
OH, wait, one more how come! then Ill quit.
How come, I was looking for mainly a coin and jewelry machine, coulda swore Id never wanna relic hunt, then I get my M6, and now Im interested in Civil War relics. Of course that would have nothing to do with a friend telling me of an old Civil War campsite near the Mississippi River he thinks he knows about,lol.
Ok, thats all.

The answer to all of your "How Come's" is simple...you've been bitten by the bug, my friend....bitten BAD! I recognize the symptoms...I have them too!

Good luck with your new machine and many happy hunts!

It's okay to have all those "How Come's" - you're in good company. I see those symptoms all the time - its the "bug" alright! Goodluck!

Honestly..I think I'm addicted. I can't stop thinking about "the perfect site" and how I need to get there before the crops are planted or the ground is worked up. ITS MADDENING!!!!!

Well, the rain returned,the rain that wasnt suppose to be today. But I did find a tad over three bucks in clad, nothin old. I think I found a honey hole for clad coins and havent even covered a quarter of the area yet.
Well, I know its not silver or wheats , but its a start.
