A couple weeks ago my wife helped a friend pack for an upcoming move. In return, her friend gave us some things they didn't need any more. One item of interest was a kids metal detector. Now, it's a cheapy National Geographic model, but it fits my 7 year old daughter perfectly. So, the other day my daughter asked if we could go detecting at the beach. I explained that if we were going hunting, it wasn't going to be for 5 minutes like the last time I took her hunting with me. ![BangHead :BangHead: :BangHead:](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/BangHead.gif)
We went to a beach about 20 minutes away , just in case her short attention span got the best of her and she wanted to quit too soon. I had never been to this beach before and it was a little more crowded than I was expecting. We managed to find a small stretch of sand, about 20x20 of empty sand to hunt. I wasn't expecting much in this area we were hunting so I made sure I brought along some "seeds" to make it interesting for her.
My little angel about to go out the door

She found 5 coins and a aluminum ring. The nickel was the only keeper I didn't plant
The junk

She lasted for at least 25 minutes and then we spent the rest of the day in the water.
I couldn't have asked for a better day.
