My 4yr olds first old coin!

[capecrazy]

Sorry I don't have a photo yet.My little girl was using her bounty hunter junior today in a yard of an 1800's house and found her first old coin! We were finding the usual nails,copper flashing and memorials.Well the last hole we dug we found a piece of copper flashing but I told her you always recheck your hole.Its a good thing we did as we searched the hole and she saw a coin and picked it up.I knew it was old but and not sure what coin it was.After a little cleaning I was amazed because she found a 1805 draped bust half cent!!! I was beside myself and I think now she is a detectorist for life!

Wow, what an incredible story. Already she's a serious hunter, and I predict it will take you a long, long time to catch up to her.
