The type of treasure this hobby is all about

[Andy Sabisch]

There's no doubt finding a piece of silver or gold jewelry will put a smile on even the most jaded hunter but sometimes we tend to lose track of the true meaning of the hobby and what the treasure is it can bring . . . .

Last weekend I had company at the house and two 5 year olds were with the group . . . . they enjoyed digging through my find boxes and when I asked them if they wanted to try a meta detector, they both jumped at the chance. As they got ready I tossed a handful of coins ion the front yard. We headed out and the nest detector weight and compactness wise for the two girls was the Deus. I showed them what to do and setup a cherry picking program. Handing the detector to one and a pinpointer to the other, they headed off and took turns getting a signal and pinpointing it with the ProPointer.

I wanted to share the following photo of the two of them . . . . hopefully two new treasure hunters have been born and when they get a few more years on them, they will be swinging the latest equipment thinking back favorably on their first experience with a metal detector.

That's cute Andy & what a nice thing for you to do.---I'll bet the girls will remember this!-------I do think you need to shorten the detector shaft a little though.------Thanks for posting that--it serves as a reminder to all of us where the TRUE treasure is!---------Del

I'm sure they had a great time and they'll both be asking for metal detectors for Christmas!
