I just saw my future Ex-Wife walk by!!!

Ok, so here is the plan...


Me: Hi there, you know, I'm president of the local Metal Detector's club... I've got a Minelab CTX3030 that's got a... (wait for it)... D-3 Coil!

Her: Ooooooohhhh... Really? a 3030 with a.... (gasp!) D-3!? Can...Can I see it?

Me: Well... maybe, if you play your cards right....


Yep, no doubt in my mind.... The future Ex-Mrs. Dragos is just walking by the coffee shop right now. I gotta run guys, start the whole process going, but it's a sure thing. I mean, how could any woman resist?

This picture says it all. Don't feel bad though, I belong to an astronomy club. It's a hard cool sell too.

It's a numbers game, Paul. Throw your line out often enough, and you'll eventually catch something.......

Don't say it is the Metal Detector Club - use something like the "Misplaced Valuables Excavation Alliance" or something a little more elusive

Don't listen to these guys, Paul. Like The Great One (Wayne Gretsky) once said "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"
