[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 525698, member: 2152"] Im all for the idea but Im an optimist. Kids getting out in the outdoors is great, but not sure the budget will do the beach hunt justice, for parks perhaps but I think wet sand gonna need something a little more expensive, its hard going, ive tried it using a couple not suited, just too much noise. Dry sand not nearly as bad, a go find or better will pick up items of value. It could be the start of a great thing, but also you could end up with two very unused machines. My nephew (now 14) was gold mad and came park hunting a few times, went from aldi machine to go find to ace to Racer using his finds, pocket money and his uncles good will to upgrade. But even his now spends a fair bit of time in the shed, right along his little highbanker, hes moved on to camping with his buddies, bigger motorbikes and chasing girls around. I think later on he will go back to it, but for now his attention elsewhere, its just what kids do, what theyve always done. Good luck, I hope if you go ahead they love it. [/QUOTE]
