🏆 Honorable Mentions:

Detector(s) used
Etrac, Minelab Explorer II, Exterra 30, Fisher CZ-21, and CZ-20
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
We had a raffle at our detecting club for a slightly used Ace 250 with extra coil. My daughter Grace who just turned 10 was hoping daddy could win it for her so she would not have to borrow her sister's detector anymore. Well a good friend won it and that evening he gave it to Grace and said Happy Birthday! So needless to say she has been chomping at the bit to go find treasure!
We hit two chip bark tot lots today. She was very excited to find her first piece of jewelry. A neat little butterfly pendant. Her smile says it all! Grace got 30 cents and some misc, I got $1.17 and plenty more misc. Interesting we both found a 123 barrett in different spots. Not what I like to detect, but sure was a memorable hunt, and well worth my time! :icon_thumleft:

I love it! Great story that put a huge smile on my face!
I hope you and your daughter are able to enjoy the hobby together for many years to come!!!

Super that your daughter's finds included the pretty pendant that she can actually wear and show her friends. Million dollar smile! Best wishes for your whole family's detecting adventures! Andi
 

Very cool! My little 2 and a half year old daughter loves it when I take her detecting with me. I can't wait until she is big enough to swing her own detector too.
 

very cool of your friend to give her the detector. she's beautiful. enjoy your detecting time together :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 

Good for her! Now ..she has her own detector! Looks like you's had a blast! Keep it up

Mike the competition is getting tougher, I hope she finds all the treasures/ with her dad by her side!
 

When you're old and gray and rummage through the memories in your mind, that sweet picture of Grace will always flood your face with a smile. HH
