First Find for daughter

[Bum Luck]

Took my twenty-something daughter out detecting (who would have thought?). I gave her my old Silver Sabre, a great beginners machine. Turn on and go.

Went down to the river bank. I would have thought we'd have come home with more lead than a target range, but she hadn't gone 20 feet and yelled, "I got something!".

In her hand was an Indian Head penny! Well, it's been a few years since I've found one of those, but I am really glad she found it instead of me. We finished out with some clad, and of course some lead sinkers.

What a great first time out! Now she looks forward to the trips out.

Thats great! Hey, when she finds her first gold ring, she'll be buying her own detector.
Thanks for posting your story.
