Went camping the other day in the desert. Decided to bring the F2 along to kill some time with the kids, turned out to be a big hit. 4 boys from 2 families, ages 7/9/11/13, all enjoyed either swinging the detector or doing the digging. I got a little time to run around also, but it was almost 100 degrees each day, so I didn't wander too far, work too hard, or spend more than 20 minutes or so out of the shade......Ugh......
Anyway, the pocketknife was one of the first finds, 100 yards into the desert behind the campsites. It was in the open position, and cool for the 11 and 13 year olds that were with me. They also dug the 50 cal bullet, and a couple hunts later, I found the casing closer to our campsite. There has been lots of military training around that part of the desert over the years. Also found a Disney pin, a smashed yin/yang ring, a simple ball earring, and the nice gold fox pendant, running the full gamut of jewelry. That was the last thing I found, and literally 5 feet from our picnic table at our campsite......
HOWEVER, even though it feels like it weighs decent, the crude construction, and the fact there are no marks on it anywhere, tells me it's junk. Oh well, what could have been......
So, fun time. Our friends' kids may have found a new hobby, as the older one swung it more than I did over the 2 days, I think......
