Brought my four-year-old daughter to the riverbank with me today to cool off a little bit but she was too afraid to go in the water past her knees. Ended up leaving after 45 minutes because of a thunderstorm but salvaged a large cent out of the trip so I'm pumped!

Enjoyed your video. Your daughter is adorable, reminds me of my daughter at that age. We use to walk along the creek ( we lived in Albrightsville PA) and find all sorts of interesting things! Enjoy!!
 
Hey, "cjon455"....Thank you for your posting about your daughter & your Large Cent find....My avatar picture of a 1/2 Real Cob was found at a local park here in Florida right next to one of the oldest Spanish Missions in Florida called "Mission San Luis de Apalachee" - which was a Spanish Franciscan mission built in 1633 in the Florida Panhandle which dates not long after the settlement of Saint Augustine Florida, the oldest continuous city in America Founded: September 1565.

My daughter, an Archaeologist, graduated from FSU & served as an Archaeologist for the State of Florida for over 20 years working at that historical site:
"Mission San Luis de Apalachee".......So, Yes I also remember my daughter at that age .....I never expected her to grow up and be an Archaeologist and I never know what I am going to find in FLORIDA & of course then we also have here the TREASURE COAST of many Spanish shipwrecks that WE ALL KNOW ABOUT, right?

Good Luck to Everyone & HAPPY HUNTING. BILL

thank you! If it wasn't so hot and it didn't rain we probably would have been able to stay longer

Nice save!
thanks!
