Detecting with Grandson

[dakotama95]

My grandson spent the weekend with us and as soon as soon as he got here, He went to his toy box and wanted his metal detector so that we could go looking for metal. He sure knows how to make his grandma happy. For 3 years old and a kiddy detector he did pretty good even though all of his finds were surface finds in front of Papa's garage.

P.s. Hes a good treasure. Better then any silver.

I was really impressed that he stayed out there as long as he did. He worked at it for about 1 1/2 hours and that is pretty good for someone his age. He did happen to find a screwdriver bit that Papa uses all the time. So that was helpful.

Looks like you both had a great time and a great weekend. You can see Treasure Hunter in his eye!

It is just the right size for him. I don't know where my daughter got it but I will check with her and get back with you on that. In the spring I tried to teach him to use a trwel his first time out but I think it was to much to grasp all at one time. so for now we will stick with surface finds and then dig a little next spring in the sand. I think he will enjoy htat more. HH

Great post!

Finding that driver bit was a good thing. I'll bet he'll have a blast in the sand lot or the wood chips of a playground with that machine.
