I enjoy the kids, sometimes you feel like the pied piper. I just give them my ace and the digging tool and let them go at it. But, I always tell them I get what they find, unless it's a penny. Mabey one day they will become md'ers, and do the same for some other kids. Help promote the hobby.

Enjoy the hunt. One note of warning. Most State Parks are off limits for MDing. They can even take your equipment in some states for poaching in the park.
