Performed My First MDing Good Deed Today!

[Dig'n Bandera]

I was dropping my daughter off at day care this morning and the director informed me that they had just installed a new outdoor playset and that one of the construction crew had dropped his pocket knife in the process. I told him that I would gladly be back after work with the DFX to find the danger to my kiddo. I brought my backup detector as well and let the director have a swing or two (he may be hooked!). It only took about 10 minutes to find the knife, several 4 inch screws, and lots of small scrap metal. My Daughter grabbed the Bounty Hunter and in 2 minutes found a small charm pendant. The daycare director was very appreciative and tomorrow, weather permitting, the kids can play on the new playset!

(p.s.) Sorry, I didn't have the camera with me

nice story and great work looks like the daughter has it down pat already

Just cleaning out the play area is going to make you feel better, I like to hunt around the swings and slide not just for the loot, but we clean up alot of bad trash, anything to help keep kids safer!
How old is your daughter?

Way to go Jeff,
We have to keep those potential future detectorist safe.

My wife and I were getting alittle grief from a child's mother because we
were detecting a tot lot, but after we showed her the razor blades we
removed from the chips she calmed down and thanked us for removing
them.

You did a great service to the little kids. Now they can play in a safe play ground. Great job. You represented the hobby in a great light. Way to go

I show them the nasty "dangers" we remove from their kids play area ---and they tend shut up rather quickly --- ---

 

[TXDIRTFISHER]

Hold the press......you mean to tell me that you spent all that money on a DFX and your daughter found a bracelet with your backup detector?

I couldn't resist. Good job on finding the knife.
