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

[ModernMiner]

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.
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!!!

The little guy smoked you, Doug!!
I wish I would have been detecting when I was your nephew's age. I would have dug silver coins by the bagful.
I think you need to get a Bounty Hunter.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

Merry Christmas to you too.

Dave,
I think you're right. That little machine really did work. Next time I'm taking the batteries out of his when he's not looking so I stand a chance out there.

OK - Who's gonna tell the Captn that he IS digging silver coins by the bagful?

Great video, Doug! Glad you two got out! Looks like you've got some good competition in the family now.

WTG, Nolan!!

Great going Nolan!!! Keep it up and I'm sure Uncle Doug will be begging you to trade detectors.
