My daughter and I went out to a park in the area. It is only her second time out digging all her own finds. For the first 1/2 hour I had 1 dime and 4 nickels and she had 5 quarters. She started to poop out after 45 minutes so we rested a bit. She was doing a number on me until I found a pocket spill of 80 cents. In the end She found $2.05 and I found $ 2.68.
There was a summer camp going on and all the kids were amazed at her finding the money..I think they enjoyed watching her just as much as I did.


Enjoy the pics.... DPSB & Daughter

Nice digging DPSB and McKenna, It's great taking the little ones out hunting, it can be just as inspiring as the finds. Nice job. HH Jim

Yesterday I had the pleasure of going out detecting with Jeffro. My soon to be stepdaughter came along and I handed her my old Bounty hunter Prospector. Her eyes got all big and she smiled huge...She was totally content to find rusty nails and a nickel on the beach. Lastnight she asked when WE were going out again. She just turned eleven and I am very happy she enjoyed herself. It is SO nice to see other parents involving their kids.
My hat goes off to you and I wish you BOTH the very best of luck!

Regards

Hey Nash-

I have been thinking for a long time that it would be marvelous to have a club for parents and children who MD together. I think it's such a great thing for parents and kids to do with one another-the kids can really learn valuable lessons about the past and history and the outdoors, all the while spending time with the folks. A club would be a good way for like-minded parents and kids to meet too!

I could not agree more. Just like this original post is , to me, plain wonderful. I see some great family values and it always wins my respect as the world has lost so much due to the lack of parenting. I guess a simple post like this one just gives me a bit of hope for our future. Our children are just that!

Nothing better than quality time with your kids. The memories last a lifetime.

I had a thought about your first picture, a caption contest. Mckenna appears to be saying something, but what could it be.....

Bet you would get loads of replies.

LOL.

Happy Hunting to both of you.

We had a nice time out... I ask her a lot of times if she wants to go and today she said sure..That put a smile on my face.. I guess it depends on her mooooooood .... I wish it was more times, but she is still young... Slowly working it in....



Thanks again ALL...........................DPSB
