I got smoked by a SC seasoned pro today - Darn kids! :-)

ModernMiner · Dec 23, 2008

My sister-in-law and her two boys came up from South Carolina today for a short visit. Her son Nolan has a small Bounty Hunter detector that he uses at the beaches. He was excited to go detecting when I got home from work so we headed to a local playground before it got dark. Folks, I was amazed at the signals that basic machine picked up.

He honestly got signals that I didn't even hear, like a 1" rusty piece of a paperclip for example. That little man found some great stuff and surprised the heck out of me. I think I've been suckered in by a ringer. :icon_scratch:

Anyways, we had a great time together. Here's a video to enjoy. Don't let that cute kid fool ya, he's a shark!

Nolan found:
$1.61 in clad , a sterling silver POOH bear Disney ring, an earring with black stone, two hearts, and a cross.
Way to go big guy!!! :thumbsup:

Great finds for him. I'm proud to see the little one's enjoying metal detecting. I took my grandson yesterday, and he found an old bullet. He sure was proud. I'm going to post it for him tonight.

What is he, 4 maybe 5 years old? Already taller than you.

Just kidding! Really cool of you to take the little man out for a tot lot hunt, and even better to have him show you up! :thumbsup:

Thanks so much everyone. Nolan is a great kid. He's already invited me down to detect with him in Myrtle Beach. :thumbsup:

Don't worry, I won't post any photos of me in Speedos. Besides, it's too cold out right now and the images may appear smaller than they really are. ::)

Ho, ho, ho!!!

Wait until he gets a better machine! He will be out competing with his uncle!

I am glad you guys had fun and he got a Pooh Bear ring!!!

Say congratulations to Nolan!!!! :thumbsup:

ModernMiner · Dec 23, 2008

Thanks everyone.
I gave Nolan a few CW 3-ringers too to take home. His Dad is a Southern boy through & through, and I'm a Yankee, so this should go over well. :tongue3:
