[QUOTE="echidnadigger, post: 26849, member: 719"] I have done a bit of beach detecting and the kids love it. You should be able to get at least an hour before the novelty wears thin. You swing they dig. I have a rule that the money and junk is theirs and Everything else is mine. The junk is a great exercise in cleaning up our beaches and a way to show kids why leaving junk on the beach is a bad idea. The next show and tell at school will get the two thumbs up. You will no doubt have up to ten other kids gravitate to you and their parents don't give a hoot how inconvenient this may be to you. So be prepared to become a daddy day care. I keep the other kids back a little by swinging the coil over their shoes or any metal on their clothing and letting them hear the beep. I then tell them they are mucking up the signals and I wont be able to find treasure, so please stand back a bit. If it helps you can tell the parents of the strange kids that the machine emits low level radiation but it shouldn't do any harm. ;) ;) LOL. Good luck and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
