Back at it after a few years

[bschifferdecker]

Got out with my daughter today. It’s been been a few years and she doesn’t remember detecting with me before. Shes kind of at that point where she is not holding on to those early memories anymore. It’s a trip, at some point she had that transition where she went from toddler to opinionated, smart, quick, sassy, kind child that can hold a conversation with people of all ages and is a truly a special and wildly individual person.

Anyhow, she’s 6 1/2 and learning to detect but mostly helping dig and collect as the detector was much too large for her today. I’m going to let her swing a Tesoro next time we go out. I was swinging an MX7 for the first time. We went down the street to a middle school and spent a couple hours digging. Weather was fantastic, almost shorts and tshirt weather. Nothing really remarkable but it was nice to get out with the kid and dig a few coins and she really likes the motorcycle. Also the little iron spear thing is neat but have no idea what it is

Welcome back, BSD. Enjoy the time spending together with your daughter. Those together-times move very fast and will become rare. ('know what I'm talking about)
Good Luck to you both and hopefully you'll have tons of digs together.

I took my son out when he was younger...in 20s now...He found a silver superman pendant and got a feature article in Whites metal detecting newsletter... and some nice gifts! Have fun while she is young...glad I took the time to do those things...

They are blessings from God. I have another one, a son, that’s 5 1/2 years behind, just turned 1 over the holidays. Eventually we will have every spot thoroughly covered here . It’s another nice day, and we homeschool so probably going to hit a park later.
