Treasure Hunting With The Kids!

in LeoFinance8 days ago

I think I mentioned a couple of weeks ago how metal detecting has been one of the favorite new activities with the kids.

And by favorite, I mean they get super excited and after about an hour they get bored and want to do something else 😂

We haven't found anything super exciting yet but hearing that magic beep and then digging the ground is really fun. Honestly, I could do it all day long 😂

Here are all the treasures we unearthed today:

Let's take a closer look:

First, nails. Lots and lots of old rusty nails. Big, small, medium. We have everything!

And then the "highlights" of the day:

So first we got an empty bullet. Kiddo got super excited with this one, heh. Silly kids ^_^

It's super old and crumbling to the touch. It was probably there for at least 30-40 years.

Then we got a coin. Nothing super old or rare. Just a 1 euro piece. I'll clean it and buy the kids some candy. Win!

And then a small metal sphere. No idea what it might be 🫠



And that's what an hour of metal detecting with a shitty detector gets you. Lots of crap and lots of fun. If you looking for something new to try it's highly recommend 😊

Kind of looks like a lead ball from a musket. I know the feeling, finding a bunch of garbage is the norm when detecting. But every now and again you find something really cool!
!PIMP

Lead ball wouldn't be magnetic, though, would it? I thought so too. Maybe steel shot?

I've found musket balls before while detecting. Lead picks up one detectors nicely!

I'll give it a good cleaning tomorrow and inspect it more !

I have a Barrett 400i, it is fun for my kids at the beach finding lots of loose change, bottle caps, old rusty nails, gum wrappers, house keys, even a buried lawn chair. I hypothesized that 300 years ago the local aboriginals already made use of lawn chairs and stubby beer bottles well before Captain Cook surveyed this region. Who knew? I also found a working cell phone.

A working cell phone? Damn, lol. 😅😂

!pimp

You're making their childhood fun to remember haha. Even if it's mostly rusty nails, the excitement of the beep is what counts. That 1 euro coin was basically a jackpot, probably an instant candy fund for them.

Yeah all change go for candy 😂😂😂

hahahahahahahaha

!pimp !bbh

I haven't tried using a detector before, but at least you had fun and you made some money from doing so. Then again, one euro will only go so far but its a treat for the kid.

It's a really fun hobby. I have found plenty of change btw, every day is pretty random in findings!

It’s great going metal detecting, haven’t done it in years but really enjoyed it.
!pimp

Arthritis?

Excellent entertainment, detecting metals, discovering what the earth hides. 👏👏👏

Yep, it's really fun :D

I'm a coin collector, all I need is a detector to go to the beach 😂

And by favorite, I mean they get super excited and after about an hour they get bored and want to do something else 😂

lmao this is so true with every game

They might actually look rusty but not completely useless as with the proper way can still be shiny or converted to something useful.

Cheers

I throw the nails in a bucket for now, maybe try to sell for scrap 😂

that's an excellent entertainment
keep it up

Kids love it! And so do I 😂

even if the treasures are a bit rusty! It's great to see you making memories with the kids, and who knows what you’ll uncover next time? The excitement is what truly makes it worthwhile!

Sounds like a blast taking the kids treasure hunting. Bet they were stoked finding stuff with that metal detector. Cool way to spend a day!
