Backyard Metal Detecting

Hi Friends,

The other day, my 4 year old son and I embarked on a metal detecting adventure (I called it a treasure hunt) in the backyard to see if we could find anything.

We were using a Garrett pin pointer to do our detecting, so certainly nothing fancy. I started off by hiding a nickel in some grass so my son could get a feel for the metal detector. Once he had it, we started looking around. Here is what we found in half an hour:

Some nails, screws, miscellaneous metal and a penny were found! My son enjoyed the treasure hunt, but we were then off to play with trains and dirt:

We will have to finish the backyard and then work on the front yard sometime soon!

Thanks for coming by today,
Brian
