For my daughter,Cheyenne's 10th birthday in September ,I finally broke down and got her a Pioneer Bounty Hunter...just to keep her quiet when tagging along with me. She has been diligenty hunting since. We live on a lake, that was once a river bed and then when the dam broke in the 1940's they allowed it to remain flooded...hence the lake. Cheyenne has been hunting the shoreline since and began digging a hole near the shore since September. It just kept getting deeper and wider...and when asked ,she would keep telling me that something was down there. She called it her "Money Pit ".
Every once in a while she would come in with an old spoon,beads? ,a bottle or two that she dig out from the hole...but she just kept digging....telling me she knew that something was in that hole....soon the hole was as deep as she is tall. ( 4') When we began to get snow, she even covered the hole with a peice of plywood to keep it clean...Well last night she said she was going out to dig...even in the frigid weather we have had...I just laughed. About a half an hour later I heard an excited "mama,mama!"
I looked out the window to see her struggling up the hill with two large heavy items.... What she had found in her "money pit" was a large iron logging cant hook and the front off an old safe door,about 2 x 2'...........Maybe not the best treasures ...but to her she had hit big treasure! I think I have another die hard metal detectoress in the making!
Will post pictures as soon as Santa brings me my new digital!
