Default Great Find

My wife was laughing when I ask for a metal detector for Christmas...well I got the last laugh last night. She was cleaning her horse stall and she came into the house and said she lost her wedding ring.....with a BIG SMILE ON MY FACE.....I headed toward the barn and with-in 5 minutes I had found it. I love my ACE 250

Good story and glad you found her ring, but you can never really get the last laugh with a wife, after all, you're the one who dug it out of the horse do .

Good job! As a reward, you could lobby for another detector!

So far I've found one very old license plate, a lot of nails, some funky green pennies and other misc. change.. but who's counting? I'm just here to have fun, giggle, and make friends along the way!

Payback is a B.....blessing! Most people don't understand the desire that drives some of us to hunt treasure. You either have it or you don't is how I see it. At least your lady fair has a new found respect for your new hobby, Kismet.

Nice Work!
