This Is why, "we do what we do!"
Just seeing these kids eyes light up when they see the things we find says it all! Now, you know what I'm talking about. Answering questions pertaining to the civil war, and explaining what the instruments were used for. "Hands on education" they love it. cheers

Re: This Is why, "we do what we do!"
I'm tickled to see you got moved to the Honorable Mention Forum, 4-H. I like the diversity of your staff. It seems funny to me that when you get around folks from different countries, ethnicities, and cultures, they really ain't that much different. I hope y'all have a good safe season.

Re: This Is why, "we do what we do!"
I missed the thread until I saw the reward under your name. I remember when you first joined TN and blew us away with all your interesting finds. Im glad you decided to keep these treasure items and share it with the kids. Good work. 
Would like to see some more pics.
I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines. I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

This is fantastic Mike. You and Maggie do a wonderful thing hosting this camp for the children. I only wish there had been something like this when I was young. Keep up the excellent work. Looking forward to seeing more pictures on here and on our forums.
Keep swinging that coil. The next signal may be a golden one!
