    Best Jewelry of the Month / Point Value: 10

    My Son found one sweet piece of silver today !

    Got early this morning to hunt a park that dates back almost 100 years . Well it turned out to be almost hunted out . I found one 1957D wheat and some clad . So my son Carson , Ryan , Dan and I moved on to a school field . Well it didn't take my son long to strike silver ! I was on the other side of the field when all of a sudden my son runs up to me and says " I GOT BIG SILVER ! " . He turned around and ran back across the field , I was just smiling . When I got to his plug I saw one of the coolest silver items ever ! It was a 925 silver dagger pendent . Man was he happy ! After some high fives and just looking at it he checked the hole , BINGO !!! The silver chain was right next to it , his first ever silver chain . We kept hunting after that and Ryan struck next ! He found a 10K gold ring and a sterling pendent . As for myself I found one more wheat cent , a 1946S . Hope we hit it big tomorrow !

    That should definitely keep him hooked on MDing. And hats off to you two for being able to love and share a great hobby together as father and son! Wish there were more families like that.
