My wife's brother passed away on Friday and the funeral was today. After everyone had left to go home my wife says "I'm going to take a well needed nap. Why don't you go metal detecting?" So I did! What a woman! It was very relaxing detecting in water chest high on a hot stressful day. Only out a couple hours. Tungsten men's wedding band and a .925 cross
Sorry for your loss OTH. I will tell you nothing relaxes me like metal detecting. Nice cross. Silver anything is a good day.
Ditto on the sympathy. My wife begs me to go detecting though! Nice catch on the cross and the ring!
I don't know about relaxing while detecting. Maybe after stressful times as you had, yes. When I get out there I have to be constantly consciously aware to stay relaxed. I'm quite the Type A personality, unfortunately. For me it's something like parachuting out of a plane for the first time! I have to breath deep and count to ten!

Metal detecting does relieve stress and after a good hunt I sleep well at night. Nice cross! Congrats.
