Tonight at church I used my detector as part of an object lesson. There is 1 kid there who just doesn't seem to connect with ANYTHING. After the lesson I showed the kids what sound to listen for and let them swing till they thought they might have something. Then I'd confirm and pinpoint it and let them dig.
The kids all seemed to like it and in a bout 30 minutes we had 2 dimes and 2 pieces of trash from a church lot that had been previously detected. The second dime looked like it might say 1964 but the patina said clad... and it was a 1967. (would have been my first silver)
The kid who wouldn't connect was REALLY excited and wants to go hunt with me sometime. To me, the opportunity to become someone who a young person is comfortable asking hard questions when life gets hard more than pays for the at pro and carrot... the $0.20 is pure profit.
