<p>[QUOTE="kbabyjohnson01, post: 1528882, member: 37983"]My two nephews wanted to go "treasure hunting" with the metal detector. They are 7 & 8 years old. the 8 year old is autistic and I knew he wouldn't understand if we didn't find anything...so before we headed out in their front yard...I took two $1 Presidential Dollars and buried them in different places and marked them so I would remember where they were. Then we went out and Scott (the 8 year old) asked me, "K-Baby, where do we dig first?" I said, "Wherever the detector tells us." I pretended to turn it on and swept it back and forth until we got to where I marked where the coin was and officially turned it on then and his eyes lit up like it was Christmas morning! He immediately grabbed his little shovel and started digging. When he immediately found his "Gold Dollar Coin" he had a smile from ear to ear! He wanted to keep digging but I showed him the detector wasn't alarming and moved on to the next area and explained it was his brother's turn. Andy, the 7 year old, was just as excited! When he found his, Scot said, "Mom we have treasure all up in our front yard!" Scott had to take the coins to my Mom's house next door and tell her the story of how K-Baby helped him and Andy find them and that he was going to keep it "forever and ever." Several days later my sister looked in the front yard to find Scott digging hole after hole. She went out and told him to stop but he said, "Mom, I was hoping to find some more gold so I could buy a swimming pool." So to keep Scott from digging up the front yard, sister bought the swimming pool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
