What unusual things happened to you over the holiday? For me it was unusually warm weather and a trip home. I threw my 2500 in the car before I left, just in case, later realizing I forgot my Propointer. Neither of my nieces have been interested detecting for 5 or 6 years so imagine my surprise when one asked me to take her on a hunt Friday morning. She's 18 now, and these moments do not come often, so I grabbed it. We had fun and talked about her college while we hunted, taking turns with the detector. She wouldn't dig because I guess that is where she drew the line of possibly looking too geeky to the people at the park who were watching us. I also cherry picked because I didn't want to dig any junk fearing I might lose my partner. I got a really deep signal on the quarter notch and told her this was going to be good! Yep, I called it! We, well I dug the 1945 quarter at 8-10 inches. It was sunny out and when it came out of the ground in a clump of dirt my niece immediately noticed that we had found something different. She plucked it out of my hand and asked why it was shining so brightly. It was really good to have found a little real treasure on our trip which lasted just over an hour. I imagine that is the longest amount of time she has been without her cellphone in a very long time. She did text all the way home, and I'm certain she wasn't telling treasure hunting stories. I think the bracelet might be silver too. I need new testing acid.
