Sometimes you just have to back away from the serious hunting to take some time to enjoy all those curious little minds and faces. I did this again the other day, handing out pieces of "priceless treasure" to several of the curious minds that took the time to bother me with their "oh-so-serious and curious" questions. It's amazing how a few crusty pennies can completely light up their faces and eyes, a vapor trail of sand kicked into the air as they quickly sprint away to go show mom and dad, "their priceless treasures!" And here's another biggie, suddenly mom and dad have a better outlook and opinion about that guy with metal detector - you can see it in their eyes and read it in their smiles and laughter when they say to you, or motion to you, "thank you!" Sure, those huge sunglasses were too darn big for the kid but you couldn't tell her that - an hour later she was still wearing them, her little hands keeping them pressed on her head. What a hoot! Green quarters - those three little boys, and now dad, were still trying to clean it off an hour later. Just A little meaningless quality time provided by that "nice guy" with the metal detector. And I enjoy every minute of it, I really do.
