deathray Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I have a great nephew named Colton. His parents are city folks, but hes 100% country boy. Hes 5 now. This summer, he was at our house, and I had planted coins on our property. I asked him if he wanted to treasure hunt..he said yes, so grabbed an old Tesoro and a pinpointer, and we dug till dark! Next time over, same thing, but this time he wanted to try an area I did not plant...and I discovered I had some history in my backyard...dug some Henry shells, rivets, horseshoes, etc. Well, I guess all he talks about now is "Treasure hunting" ! So his parents bought him a detector for Christmas (assume a bounty hunter) and I got him a digger, pinpointer and cool camo backpack. Theres hope for the future! Heres my favorite pic of him...he was about 3...watering my sons tires,lol. If pic is out of line Steve, I apologize, and please delete.

Steve Herschbach Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 If pic is out of line Steve, I apologize, and please delete. Ray Been there done that when I was a tyke. Good on you Ray. I got hooked on detecting while young and it literally changed my entire life. Nothing like teaching kids the value of work and patience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathray Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 They are coming over on Christmas day, I will make sure to plant some toy cars, change, and probably hit the tot lot at the school. Next spring, time to hike down to the creek, teach him to fish and pan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strick Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Nice Work Ray! I'm sure Colton has been driving his parents nuts about getting a metal detector. I took one of my clients out a couple months back and when I went to drop him off at his house his 5 year old boy ran outside and started firing a million questions...did you find anything? can I see? can I try the detector? can I try the pin pointer? I left them with the AT gold to play with. Hopefully he will get a metal detector for Christmas because Lisa wants her AT Gold back!. We are over due for a hunt..... strick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
