This goes to show how much luck can come into play. Santa is giving my 6-year-old a junior metal detector this year. In January, he found a New York button using my pinpointer. I had dug a modern casing and he jammed the pinpointer in the sidewall. He was started (almost terrified) when I extracted the brass and tossed him on my shoulders. That evening I put it in a Riker and he slept with it -- not because buttons are cuddly, but because he knew it meant something. Anyway, sappy story, but it's great to see kids getting into it. Far beats Wii bowling. Thanks for the link.
thats one heck of a find and piece of history and one lucky little fella 
Fantastic...you just never know.
Then his brother wanted to hear, did the same for him, Then the boy asked if he could "scan" around by himself... Why not, I watched him closely since my detector was expensive! lol he got a signal, we dug it up and it was another pulltab, the great thing is that he wasnt upset or disapointed, I really hope he gets one for xmas, he was so smart and into it. Too bad we didn't find a treasure.
Congrats little UK dude.
