Wrapped up my weekend with two nice finds. After a long day of running errands and chores around the house me and my little girl finally made it out. She is a handful but the time spent together is more a treasure than what we find. I dont dig near as many holes with her trying to wander off, filling my plugs back in, setting in the holes and getting mad cause i wont let her swing the coil, but her time will come. Shes my good luck charm and the times we go out together definetly pay off. So here it is my first ever dug Indian Head Penny. Its an 1890 in very nice shape and a brass skeleton key. The penny was an iffy signal with the AT Pro, there was a good penny signal with some a big iron growl. In the plug came the penny along with a small iron wedge. Same went for the key, a few square nails came out with it. It was hard getting the penny back from her, the picture with her mouth open she says "My money"

SHE IS CUTE AS CAN BE,AND YOU CAN BE PROUD THAT SHE DID NOT WANT TO KEEP FOR HER OWN THE GREAT KEY TOO. A nice start on the I.H. AND CERTAINLY A BEAUTIFUL PARTNER.
 

That's nothing. Wait to she sees you dig your 1st Gold and says MINE, LOL! :laughing7:
 

Nothing we find is as valuable as quality time spent with our kids (*especially* when they're little - those years pass so quickly!). Congrats and enjoy!
 

Nice Indian love that key nice to share time with family say goodbye to all your jewelery when she gets older if shes like my two Thanks for sharing@@@
 

Congrats on your first Indian Head, skeleton key and spending quality time with your daughter. I started taking my daughter with me on outings at about the same age. She is now 30 and still hunts with me on occasion. The important thing is, is that she remembers those earlier hunts when she was younger, and time we spent together, and i'm sure your daughter will do the same.
