Default spring is near....

My 9 year old daughter Katy and I were able to get out this weekend and do some treasure hunting. We hunted our front yard,the local park,and an old house owned by my in-laws thatI'm helping to remodel Heres a picture of our finds in the bunch only one wheat penny and abunch of clad one red hotwheels car and some charm bracelet fobsand a tiny lock which looks like it came from a child's diary,and some plain old unique junque.Oh I almost forgot we found a pair of silver earringsmy other daughter lost last summer, they were about an inch deep.They aren't in the picture because she already reclaimed them. We had a wonderful time together,and hope to go again soon. I am now looking to get a detector she can use by herself(mines too heavy).

Nice haul, I bet the other daughter was thrilled with getting her earrings back, maybe she'll want to detect!

That's great that your daughter wanted to detect with you & you found treasure too, can't beat that, might want to check out the White's Prizm III for her, very light weight, turn it on & go, would be perfect for her.

You hit it on the head in your post when you said "WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME TOGETHER". That's what it's all about !
