So my son has been bugging me to take him detecting, and I always put him off as he was to young. So he tells me dad I am 6 years old and am I old enough to go hunting with you. I said sure but for a short while.
So we gear up and meet my other hunting buddies to hunt a new Civil War site.
But for my son I planned on planting 4 or 5 bullets to help teach him how to hunt and pin point. Which he did an excellent job, so he is now hunting on his own, right next to me of course, and he gets a signal and he yells out to me that he has indeed got a signal, so I check the target and it reads in the high 70's low 80's, I figure soda can, because it sounded shallow. But I felt that he has to dig trash as well. So he starts digging and can't find the target, I gave him my probe and he was having problems so I checked his hole and the surrounding area, and what I thought was a pull tab turned out to be a 2 Reale dated 1772. I have never been happier, except when he was born. And his find won him King of field. I just wish I had my video camera with me,
So my sons first ever hunt lands him on the 1700's score board.
