Lucky Little Kid

[willpond & LLK]

My 6 year old daughter wanted to detect with me today so we took the long trip out into our front yard. After a half hour of mind-numbing trash signals, consisting of old sardine cans, bottle caps, wire, misc. farm items, I gave up. (I have been detecting 20+ years, yet I quit first!) My daughter continued hunting with her Tesoro Compadre, telling me "you can't find anything sitting on the porch". I watched as she got a good signal, she turned the disc. up and still a good signal, In all my wisdon I said it was a large piece of iron, she disagreed and the digging began. At the 6" depth nothing, again I said junk. After scratching around the hole she ran over to me with something in her hand, and did it shock me! She found a 1952 SILVER Franklin Half dollar! Hows that for being a lucky dad, on Fathers Day, I now have a hunting partner for life!

This, is what "treasure hunting" is all about. . . and the kids. . . always seem to have the highest passion of all

You are blessed

Very Cool! I remember as a kid we had a "science fair" at my school and there was a guy who had a bunch of his finds from detecting (this was 1979) so a bunch of Morgans, etc. I was just thinking last night.."why didn't I get into detecting then"..?? I hope your Lucky Kid sticks with it her lifetime through ! Sounds like you done good in the child raising department!
