My girls first coin cache

[3RINGER]

Took my daughter 4wheelin looking for old home places on a large section of property near here we hunt on. Soon after getting on the ridge she said she saw a chimney in the bottom.

Not 15min. after we broke out the detectors she started jumping up and down..spooked the day lights out of me..thought she got snake bit. She was holding a small metal tin and came running over to me and said it sounded like something inside.

After we opened it up she found 5 wheaties inside. a 57D, 49D,40,44 and a 56.

She just grinned every time I looked at her the rest of the day..I think she's hooked

That is a great story. Good for her!!

When I was young I had buried some change in a prince Albert tobacco can in my back yard. I even made a treasure map. Of course I lost the map and the can was never found.

Last week I returned to my childhood home armed with my new E-trac. I was determined to find the can of coins. When I arrived I found that they had built a garage on the area where the coins were buried and they had a concrete drive to it also. So There is a buried treasure that will never be recovered.

Your small can reminded of my buried can. Thanks for posting,

HH,

Dave

She is hooked for sure, and you have a great hunting partner

I can just imagine a child placing those 5 wheaties inside of an old Sucrets tin and burying them for later, or as buried treasure way back when... But I love the mental image of your child finding them and getting very excited! Chances are she now has a memory she won't soon forget! Great job!
