I love to metal detect! I can't say it enough. I can't do it enough! It is by far one of my favorite things to do. Mike and I enjoy this hobby and share in the love of the hunt. I've found a lot of things, which most people would consider to be junk or trash. Mike and I like to come up with little stories to match our some of our finds. It's fun, and the best part is, we get to share time with one another doing something we both love. Even Mikey and Brian have fun pretending to metal detect. They imitate the beeping noises and they always seem to find a coin of some type. Even though they are only pretending, it's really awesome to see how excited they get. I think they are also imitating Mike and I, which makes even more special. I think by the time Mikey is 5 years old we might have to get him his own metal detector.
Recently, we decided to purchase pin pointers. We have been watching this show called "Diggers". It's a great show, and the enthusiasm that is expressed by K.G. and the Ringmaster is truly wonderful. This is where we saw the pin pointer in action. The pin pointer basically takes you to the object you are looking for and helps you find it quicker. There is less digging and less chance of having a moving target. A moving target is when you are digging for an object and it's location keeps moving. Shifting dirt at times can cause objects to shift as well. Needless to say, the show "Diggers" sold us on our pin pointers. It took forever to get them though. The manufacturer said that was because of the show, and everyone wanting one of their own. Now they are in demand. We can't wait to get out there and get dirty with them. So there you have it, our new toys.
