Hit 2 tot lots tonight, both full of kids. The first lot the kids were great wanted to touch my badge ,help dig anything to help . the next lot lots of kids most were ok , now I know the play ground was built for them so I just stay away and hunt the empty places. One kid( that was growing out of my side )first coin I hit dropped down and started looking Took my quarter stuck it in his pocket , went to show his Dad . The Dad reached in his pocket and looked at his change (I guess he was making sure wasnt his) Im thinking ok .Hes 9 or 10 not 4or5 yrs old.next coin same thing ,told me how lucky he was ( lucky I didnt pull his head off) I figure you get paid you need to work! So I disc out everything but pull tabs and foil . Every one I could find he put in his pocket,(Told him if he dropped them he would have to pick them up next time ) When I left he had two pockets full of tabs and trash and was looking for a trash can.Not sure but I won that battle of wits . ( iwould have given it to him if he just ask)

i try to deter kids hanging around me when detecting as a rule there's nothing worse than having someone looking over your shoulder when ya finally find a nice gold ring ( ya may not have it for to long after that ) the first thing little Johnny/Jill does is tell mom or dad that man found a ring then the fun begins.

What kind of a badge?
Happens to me too. I lay down some gound rules if kids are tagging along. I get all the loot only because I keep records. They can have toy cars etc. They can dig or pinpoint as long as a parent says its ok. They have to stand out of my swing path. No cussing or mean-mouthing around me. I usually have plenty of cold drinks and candy bars in my cooler for a reward if parents say ok. Having the right kids around is a joy. Some really test me. After about 13 or 14 forget it. They usually aren't all that interested anyway.
Funny story. Too bad one of those pop tops wasn't a ring. The kid would have probably liked to get some gold! What are you swinging?

You should have had the CSI 250 and told them you were searching a crime scene.
