LOL, it is great to make ANY kids day.
I dont plant things for my kids anymore, they just find stuff or I do and let them dig it up.
BUT
I do sometimes plant coins for kids that are total strangers, did that at Victor Harbour the other weekend.
A little girl came and asked what I was doing, she was about 5yrs, Mum was there, and a 2yr old sister.
The bark chips were totally clean so I managed to drop a $1 coin and cover it, asked if she wanted to swing and she had big open eyes,
Mum was okay, and on the childs 3rd swing it chimed and she took to the ground with the pin pointer ! Little sister just over her shoulder.
Excitedly she found the coin and jiggled with joy.
Then I asked her sister how old she was, "only 2yrs" and also with two finger held up, so cute.
So I asked if she would like to look for treasure ? Mum was smiling as she scanned another patch where I dropped a $2 coin.
Bing, bing with the ACE250 and she was into the ground with the pinpointer, found it and squealed with a huge smile.
I asked her if she knew what the coin was, she looked at it and saw the number 2 then said "two dollars ??",
her Mother didnt know she could count and was surprised. (The first girl could not identify the $1 coin.)
Kids very happy, Mum happy too, and asked a lot about the hobby.
Another woman chatted happily about the hobby too.
Later a Taxi driver chatted about his Gold prospecting days.
My kids were on the swings and stuff, Kato was looking for anything in odd places - came away with a couple of spendibles.
:Y:
