My wife reminded me a while back that she used to enjoy dry sand hunting and was looking forward to getting out there again.
Yesterday when the day had wound down to a "what should we do now" phase an hour or so before dark, I suggested we take a spin on the beach nearby.
Her eyes lit up and I knew I was on the right track!
It was her first hunt in over twenty years, but after I showed her how to use the little Green Machine, she was practically singing as she also was getting the feel for the new scoop I had built for her. (See scoop building post!)
We enjoyed an hour of coin retrieval before the damp, chilly wind off the water forced us to head home to warm up.
She had totally enjoyed her hunt. :
When we compared notes she had 99 cents and I (using my Excal) had only about a quarter of that!
Sheeeeeee's baaaack!!!!:thumbup
and I'm glad!
