Ouch ! Careful Waterhound ! Why won't I ask that question on the other forums , because I want to live , lol , seriously . I don't think we will ever see a metal detecting addiction support forum , and Who would take me seriously at a N A. Or AA addictions meeting . BUT ! I confess that for the past year or two I've spent way to much time in the water digging junk hoping to find a nother gold ring , leaving my loving patient wife behind for whole days. She does not share my enthusiasm , and has said she would rather have me at home than the gold I bring home. Then theirs the money spent on gas and equipment , let's be honest guys , if someone wants the latest detectors and accessories it can be very costly, and if your family's not part of it , very selfish, on my part, yes I've got OCD. That's the truth , and yes metal detecting is better than gambling , drugs , or pornoraphy . To a Christian it should be . SO WHEN DOES THE MADNESS STOP , when it becomes a hobby again , and doesn't cause others in my family to suffer from my absence or puts a strain on finances or tithing . And this summer if God allows it I want to make my detecting trips a family picnic time of fishing and detecting , because I really love my wife and want to be with her and Jesus my real treasures .
