Grandson's Treasure

My 11 year old autistic grandson found these items 1st time out(with a little pre-search help from Pawpaw. I figure he's hooked for life now.). What do you think?

Outstanding finds! One of the best things about metal detecting as a family hobby is that it is one of those rare activities puts children and adults on even footing. Certainly your grandson has a knack for mding. Congrats for finding him an excellent hobby!

Before everyone gets the wrong idea, I planted everything for him to find in order to get him interested. As they say, the look on his face as he found them was "priceless".

Re: Grandson's Treasure

That is an awesome way to get him interested! Autism is tough and detecting would be a great way to help him develop and get interested. Get him on some playgrounds so he can find some spendable cash! I consider myself somewhat normal, most of the time, LOL, and really think detecting is therapeutic for me. The hunt and detecting is more important than the finds to me, I'm 60% about the hunt and 40% about the finds. Keep us informed how it goes, you may help a lot of people. I have another forum detector friend who has an Autistic son and his son goes detecting with him and enjoys it. Welcome to the forum and HH, Mike

Ha.. that was my question!! Very nice thing you did... I almost did the same thing to my son... but decided not too... and the ironic thing!! he hit a 1940s pocket spill and bug a silver quarter, a mer, a war nickle and a buff!!! The 4 feet away he popped out a 1899 IH!!! I.. on the other hand.. dug nothing but new change!! ;-)
