Detecting on a honeymoon?

[rocketaroo]

Going to Port Stephens for a few days, second honeymoon type deal with the missus, we havent been away in 10 years at least. I want to detect.....the missus says that the detector stays home! What are my rights here, what would you do? So many cool spots, just begging to be touched by my ace 350

do it brother, do it.
if you find some good stuff she will have the best night ever in ten years

Better to ask for forgiveness than for permission :lol:

Do it!

Enjoy it. You deserve a break We live in Port Stephens but not sure about detecting the beaches there. Spent a few hours a while back and found $2. That was around Anna Bay. It will be peaceful with all the tourists gone anyway.

Ask her to take it for you, or if you take it tell her that you took it for her.

Seriously, no way would I take it.

Find a new missus I say, I'm getting married on Feb 28 then straight to Bemm River for 2 weeks of camping, fishing, prospecting & fossicking. Best honeymoon ever, luckily Tracey loves all the same things too though and wouldn't want it any other way

Seriously though, you gotta do what's right for the relationship and in my previous marriage I spent more time fishing than doing what she wanted on our honeymoon in Merimbula, needless to say that marriage was doomed from the start and she never let me forget about the lack of attention she received either.
My advice is leave the detector at home if she's already telling you, you'll never live it down if you take it.
I'm just very fortunate this time around to have my best mate for my wife instead of the "leader of the opposition".

If you take it you are a much braver man than I!

I don't go anywhere without my detector in the car. We spent a week at a cabin in the Hunter Valley vineyards for our wedding. Family and friends there for the weekend. Yes I had my detector and I used it.

Tell her what you want for a honeymoon gift is.... your 350.

Either way have a great time.

Or you could do one of those deals on the ad on TV. Have a mate "accidently" bump into you, with his detector.... and yours. LOL

Lmao Ramjet......"He Johnno, is that you"? Fancy meeting you here!

"Hey is that Bob over there by the bar"?

"What are the odds"?

"Come on guys, lets go detecting".

Hehe!

What is this world coming to? A prospector of any description even contemplating not taking a detector. Stand firm mate!!

My only qualifier for this is that Mrs Loamer and I parted company some years ago. I got an ultimatum - it was either her or my gold lease, mates and numerous trips to WA - geez I miss her cooking.

Leave the wife at home and take your mistress who likes detecting. That way you WILL get sex and detecting.

HAPPY DAYZ

You will always get quality advice from us blokes!

I take it you are male and own one metal detector and that not being argued here then it follows that you actually posess 2 "wands" so you need to think hard and work out which one is best employed to forfil the primary function of the aforesaid "Second Honeymoon"

as they say "happy wife - happy life"

The honeymoon should be about what you both want from the holiday, maybe use some tact and suss out what she wants to do on the holiday then suggest if you're happy to do her things then setting a few hours aside for a detect should be ok?
It's all about the delivery and if she's a reasonable person which I assume she is (that's why you're marrying her) then some cunning tact should ensure some quality time detecting and both of you will be happy
If she won't hear of it then there's no hope for you mate, the writing's on the wall, then you may as well just take the detector and spend the whole time doing what you want because the rest of you married life is going to be hell anyway :lol:

 

[noncents]

Tell her "I've got 2 hobbies I like, detecting and womanising, which one should I choose"?
:lol:

Happy wife happy life.

Geez that quote is used a lot, and I reckon it is a load of sh!t
If you have keep the wife happy at your expense you have a bloody miserable existance.
Cards on the table I say.

I raised the issue for the third time today........and no go. Oh well, guess I dont need more ring pulls, and bottlecaps?

Mrs Silver says that provided there was somewhere that she could look for rocks, it would be ok,... she would also want to know who is cooking tea and who is buying the drinks,... that said, I've taken my detector at times that I probably shouldn't have, and used it at my discretion(making sure it's not too much of an imposition on everyone involved),... but then again Mrs Silver is very easy to get on with and an absolute gem when it comes to forgiving me unconditionally(like her love), so, for me I would take it and that would work out fine,.. for someone else it could be the end all of romance and the start of cleaning out the shed so they've got somewhere to sleep and store all that cr@p that she never wanted to see or hear about anyway(all your best finds and keepers). So you've got to weigh it all up and make sure the communication is very open, and the love is oozing out in all directions,... make sure that you kill the spiders and put the rubbish out(meant as a personality cleans) before contemplating the secreting of the detector into the glove box.

Cheers and Beers RKT.
Silver.
