I think it will be next saturday we are trying to meet with other hunters at the beach knowing his luck he will out do all of us and thats ok with me HH RON

 

[Knightwalker]

You just made dad of the year Ron. Let's hope he doesn't skip schoot to go detecting.
You did fill him in oh the proper way to dig plugs and fill in the holes, right? It's one thing getting them started, but the other to make sure he does it right and not mess it up for the rest of us.

I have taught him well he makes small holes a fills them back and makes it look like no one was there he got on to his brother for not filling in his hole who is older . HH RON

that is great! I wish I could get my son interested.

WTG Ron!!! Can't wait to see more posts of you and your sons adventures and discoveries!

 

[Silverhawk]

awesome story! Glad to see he's hooked. I just got my 8 year old an ace too and after he found his first nickel at the park, he was happier than i've seen him in a long time.

 

[CRUSADER]

that is great! I wish I could get my son interested.

He would be no Son of mine without a spade in his hand, I would give him up for adoption

Awesome, I cant wait to buy my son a real detector but he does love his toy but he is only 3 I guess I will wait to his 5, maybe.

Great story, got my oldest daughter a small detector as my freebee from Kellyco. She found a quarter before I did. Now her little sister wants one. It is a great way to get them outside and introduce them to important life skills like patience, focus, responsibility, and perserverance.

If he outfinds you, make him walk home. My daughter learned to leave the best signals for daddy. (joke, people, joke)

Way to go!

Ron, show us a picture of that '62, I'll nominate for Banner.

Great story. Hope he sticks with it, and then you will get a ton of memorys.

And that is the reason we have our children, how empty our lives would be without them. This is what the Bible has to say about our children>


Ps 127:3-5
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
KJV

 

[GopherDaGold]

How does it feel to have created a monster?
That is an awesome story!! The kid is hooked and he's starting off with a respectable detector to boot!

 

[Brian in MA]

9 is the age that I started and 35 years later I'm still at. You have introduced him to a great hobby. One that you both can share in. Doesn't get better than that.

Make sure he holds on to that first coin !!!

I hope you two have many successful hunts together !!

[mommagpx]

Wow, great story, just spending time together is priceless, anything found is a bonus. It's parents like you (and myself have two sons that both detect with me) that give children strong self esteem and ethics. Love the story!!!
