Hi all , been while since i posted, with work and all the rain we have had down here . well last saturday the rain cleared for a few hours , i remembered my nephew asked me if he could go hunting. So i jumped on the blower[ phone] and gave him a ring. He was waiting out the front and was so excited. I said to MAX that he would have to come up with a hunting name. Mini _ Digger he replied. i laughed as he is a skinny bag of bones LoL We went out the old gold diggings and had a heap of fun. When digging up a target i hit a Bull ants nest and got bitten a few times, Max just couldn,t stop laughing. He struggled with my detector but he just keeped going. After 5 hours we managed a couple of chiness cash coins and 2 silver threepences and a button and a couple of bullets. Had fun and will take again this summer

good to see mini digger getting into the hobby sounds as if he had a blast looks like a good start with a machine like the one he is holding can't get to discouraged with that tell mini digger to keep digging and good luck krazyhorses

looks like You's did a great Job.

Minelab gotta shrink some detectors
to half size though.

I'm surprised the Detector companies don't make
smaller versions of their top models

It'll be a hunt that he'll remember for many years to come. Great to see that you made time for the hunt with him. :icon_thumright:
