Today, I turned the metal detector over to my two sons and they did excellent! :o It was the only way to get out today, those with children know what I mean. I set the discrimination to Max and turned them loose. As much as I wanted too, not once did I swing the detector, not even to recheck our holes, it was their day.

Colton is 6 years old and the very first target that sounded for him was a 1928 Wheatie, I couldn't believe it! His reaction...."Daddy, I found a green quarter!" Clay is 3 and his first target was a chunk of aluminum but he thought the world of it. I'm still shaking my head as I look at these items that they "discovered". What a day, can't say much more.

1928 Wheatie
1944 Wheatie
Flat button with nice guild on the back
Toy tractor steering wheel
Hutchison stop.......I've never found one! Even better that the blob is attached (thank you Lady Luck)
Two very cool snail shells...one has very blue/purple swirls

For what it's worth, Colton is aware that his "treasures" are on the internet tonight and he wants to know what people think about his treasures. I'm hoping that a few members will give him a word of encouragement or one of these :thumbsup: he really likes those!

Clay and Colton, would you mind if I came over ? maybe you could show me how to MD, you're better at it than I am.

Relish the time spent with children, they grow up far to fast - me 2008
