Not sure if I shared this yet? But I entered Garrett's Story of the Month contest a couple months ago, off they're web site. I'd forgotten all about it when I opened up my mail box not to long ago and saw a Brand New Garrett Pro Pointer sitting inside. I couldn't believe it! Seems Garrett enjoyed my story. The prize for them using your story in their news letter and Web Site is the free Garrett Pro Pointer!
Now at least my 2 son's don't have to fight over who's going to use it now.

This is off Garrett's Website http://www.garrett.com/hobbysite/hb...ec_2011.aspx

Do I understand this right? Your son actually picked the spot before you detected it? And there was this coin there? WOW. Who needs a detector?

Sorry for the delay, life has a way of mixing things up! But I'm back now :)
Yea my son Ty called it, which he was dubbed "Treasure Hunter" But has now moved onto "Coin Whisperer" lol
It was a memorable moment! Certainly gave us all a rush. And Boy I don't think my little guy stopped smiling for a week. I still hear..Ty:"Dad...Member I found tuasure". I reply with a "I sure do!! And that's where I try to sneak in a little more hunting time. lol "You want to go find more" lol
Rest in Peace
