My 10 year old son came to me today and asked if he could try one of my metal detectors, I told him sure. He got my DFX out and poor little guy could barely hold it, let alone swing it. I showed him how to use it, how to pinpoint and how to dig his target and left him to experiment on his own. He spent 30 minutes in the yard and only found a few pieces of can slaw. I told him to get in the car and I would take him somewhere he could find something. We headed to his elementary school playground and he detected for 15 minutes before we got rained out. He found 3 pennies, 1 nickel, 1 dime and 1 quarter then he gets a solid 10 on the VID, turned out he got his first ring. Made me so happy that he enjoyed himself. every time we have gone detecting he always headed straight for the playground and never took interest. He said he wants his own detector now so I will be in the market for something lighter than a DFX for him.
