I tried some detecting Sunday at an old park in a town about 15 miles down the road. Anyway, these 4 Amish kids were hanging out there, looking bored until I came detecting along. They suddenly appeared about 10 feet behind me. I smiled and kept digging, and they were right there, waiting to see what I found. A penny! They asked questions and zeroed in on everything I dug. Penny, nickel, dime...I turned off the headphones so they could hear everything. They really got a kick out of the pinpoint mode on the Nox. The little girl said it sounded like a baby crying. 
These kids had a good sense of humor too. One hole had some broken glass in it. As they were passing around the coin from that hole, I cleaned off a round piece of glass that had an old Quaker guy embossed on it. (turns out it was from an "Old Quaker" bottle like the part shown in photo) I gave it to them, and said "it looks like your dad!" They all bust out giggling. These kids were my hunting buddies for the next half hour or so, until the folks arrived. They marveled at the Mercury dime we found, and everything else too! Not a lot of coins left in this park, but it sure was a fun hunt!
