Default This is a great hobby!

I just came back from going to a park with my five year old son. We both hit the tot lot with equal enthusiasm, he to enjoy climbing and sliding, and me to "treasure hunt". He said we were like pirates as we hunted for buried treasure together. I only found thirteen cents, but I had a great time. How many hobbies can you get out on a nice evening with your boy and both have some real fun together?

Now if I could only find some nice things like those posted by everyone on this site it would be icing on the cake.

Sweet story! Those rings will come when you least expect it and probably after you resigned yourself to not finding them. My boy too likes to tear around on the equipment while I hunt the chips... good times for sure.

Thumbs up

It is indeed a nice "hobby" to enjoy with your kids. Many years ago, I bought a cheap detector at Radio Shack for my son and I. We had a lot of fun for a couple of summers...then he discovered girls.

Another good thing about this hobby I have lost about three or four pounds since I got my detector for fathers day. It is nice to have a fun way to be a little more active and lose some weight. A nice added bonus.

It really is such a nice hobby in so many ways.

You probably never thought, that at your age, you could have as much fun at a tot-lot as your 5 yr old son could
