Been collecting railroad date nails for many years now. Nails with a number for the year were put in rr ties when they laid the track. That way they could tell when the ties needed to be replaced. They usually went from 1900 to the 70's or so. Steve in so la
Southern Pacific RR
This 1903 was listed at $300.00 last I checked. Most are way cheaper though.

Let me know if you do. I can give you a few tips that will make your life a lot easier and more enjoyable
I won't try to tell you what to buy, but I can tell you what to avoid. And I can help you with some of the little things that are important about equipment setup so you will get the most out of it w/o beating yourself up.
Besides the other hobbies I mentioned in an earlier reply , I bought my son a hobby level RC car for Christmas that is upgradable and we can spend time together working on it to improve it , and have fun outdoors with. He just didn't pick up on metal detecting like I hoped , for most young kids its exciting at first but before too long detecting just seems to take more patience than kids can maintain. I'm looking to buy a used RC for myself so we can work on multiple projects together. I will take up that hobby if it means I can get that kid interested in something besides video games
