To All The Family Guys

[NJcigarman]

I was on the beach yesterday I couldn't help but see a guy chasing his 3 little ones around. They were running all over and he was going in every direction rounding them up. The children then spotted me and before I knew it I had 3 silent spectators a couple feet away. Dad came over and told them to leave me alone. Dad then mentioned to me he detected too. He asked me some questions about my Whites PI and he said he had a Garrett. He told me he doesn't get out very often with his job and family. He had been contemplating bringing it with him on this vacation. But he pointed out as I could see he had to keep the little army in check. He said he wouldn't mind looking for some gold. I told him Dude you already found gold. You got a beautiful wife and three beautiful kids. Before you know it those kids will be grown up and you will be walking that little girl down the aisle. Then you will have time to enjoy this hobby.
To all you young people out there your time will come as you get older. Yes retirement is a beautiful thing. There were many days years ago when I would have loved to been detecting instead of working. I remember getting out only a few times a month if I was lucky. But I made it a goal to keep up on the hobby by reading and that was before the internet. Enjoy and treasure these family moments while you can. Life goes by real fast!!!!!!!!

Ya I have had an adult guy throw pennies "at me" from the sidewalk and laugh, the people he was with were mortified. Actually got hit with a few, so I turned and headed toward the water till he disappeared. Quickest way I know to diffuse the situation.

To deal with that situation just simply dig your foot into the sand under the pennies they've thrown at you and laugh while saying " you want them back?" And flick them back to them with a nice little facial sand shower!

I went detecting with my two grandsons on Saturday and Sunday!
It was so much fun! They are so in to it! My older grandson (9) used a flathead screwdriver
at the park and popped out a quarter! Boy that method leaves no tell tale signs of ever being there!
I missed out with my son but I'm not with my grandsons!
