Have been having a blast with my 8 yr old granddaughter and a metal detector (Not one for precious metals). We found 5 horseshoes in about 10 minutes. Finding horseshoes with a grandaughter is better than finding gold...but we have 100 acres...so who knows...maybe a chest will turn up!!
When one of my best friends bought his first detector he went out with his steel-toed boots on. Within a few minutes he had found his foot. We all got a big laugh out of that.
