Default Kids???

While I have been at the park detecting all these kids come around and at the little park where I found the $2.52 everytime I found a coin I would show it to them and at after the 4th coin they were all digging around with their hands to find coins. It got a bit loud so that was my time to split.

Today some kids were hovering around me but it got a bit unconfortable cause 2 kids came over and started to like grab my detector and I had to tell them to chill out.

I WILL TRY OUT THE SMALL PARK AGAIN AND AM GOING TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND GO TO OTHER PARKS AROUND FLORIDA AND MAKE A DAY OF IT WITH THE FAMILY. I THINK THE SMALL PARK HAS NOT BEEN DETECTED AT LEAST NOT TOO MUCH AND THE BIG PARK WAS.

What a bummer with the kids trying to grab your metal detector... There were some very obnoxious kids in the park I was MDing in today for a while. Good luck hunting the smaller park!

That is the beauty of headphones. Pretend you can't hear them and then get away. Or better yet tell them the pirates buried the treasure in another part of the park and you are just checking there in case they dropped any gold. However if they want the real treasure they need to go to the other spot.
