We got my 7yr old a bounty hunter pilot for Christmas, he helps me work the beaches with my Tiger shark but it's to heavy for him. We went to a tot lot to try it in the mulch and had success.
He found his first little ring and small pendant and some coins, he was most excited about a piece of wire he found.

So where is his favorite find, the wire? And why was the wire his favorite find? Just goes to show, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some like old copper coins where others like shiny Merc's. Sorry just kidding, important part is just spending time together.

I have a Bounty Hunter Pilot! It is also called the Pioneer EX. Good detector (even though I'm saving up for a Garrett AT Pro).
