Kids at our camp detecting! The Little Tikes!
They love the new pit we designed for them!!!!
Kids dig Gold colored Aluminum tokens to be used at our camp store for toys and clothing.
It was a success.
This is the first of it's kind in America.
We are the first 4-h center in the World, to make Metal detecting and actual program!!!! Yes, 4-h is World Wide.
Hopefully, others will follow our footsteps.
There were 3 options for the kids to pick from.
The kids were asked to raise their hands on what they wanted to do for the "I wanna do" for an hour the evening.
When treasure hunting was mentioned, almost ALL of the hands were raised!~
We just didn't have enough machines.


Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.


We get new kids all summer long who get the opportunity to treasure hunt in Americas first, kids Metal Detecting treasure pit.
Special thanks to Carolyn at Supersod for the sod donation.
Also, Bill @ Landsaver Asheville NC

Thanks so much!
I mentioned to the counselor here, we could only take 9 kids for the program because, that's all the detectors we have available.
When 13 showed up, it was a little tricky, but it worked out great!~

Re: You really, really have to see this

Thank you for the quick response, the contact arms are bent a little if you know of a great kid who is interested in it let us know and we will ship it to them!!!! It was a great starter for me and the whites classic 5 is working for me!!!! I just cant see it sitting in the storage not being used!!!! I found seven gold rings with it and allot of silver rings and clad!!!!!!
I'm thinking of upgrading again around Feb or march!!! so i might have another detector around that time!!!! I did not get the chance to join The 4H when i was growing up because of family issue's but always wanted to that is why I am making this offer to you!!!

I'm going to explain to you what we will use it for.
Obviously, I have created a big sand pit.
I throw gold tokens in it for kids to find with donated Metal detectors.
We get any where from 125-200 kids per week all summer long. They get to do cool things like metal detecting, White water rafting, mountain climbing, trout fishing, archery etc..
Your machine will be used by different kids every week. The machine stays here for them to enjoy for as long as the machine "Beeps"
We cant give them the machines, they simply borrow them for the program
Thank you AP (Again) and Chug!

We decided that to help keep you costs down that instead of sending a supply of batteries with it that we will purchase a rechargeable battry set and spare batteries!!!! and send them along with the detector!!!!!
