Hey John, glad to have you with us as sponsor :cheering::cheering:

Nice to have you for a forum sponsor, John. :)

[Tony Two-Cent]

Welcome, John! Glad to have you on board as a sponsor! I hope it ends up being a long-term partnership that reaps benefits for both the forum and your business.

Welcome John. Obviously metal detecting has gotten under your skin. Really hope the business and your sponsorship works out well. Seems that you offer a great variety of detectors.

Thank you John for becoming a sponsor at American Detectorist. Great looking web site as well!

[tracyjm]

Thanks for the warm welcome!! Metal detecting is something thats been in my blood a long time. You can see from my avatar my little boy is getting an even earlier start than I did. This is a good way of staying connected to the people who have the same interests in the hobby and hopefully I can help someone along the way. Thanks again...John

Thanks and welcome as a sponsor! :)

I also have a little boy (6 yrs) starting out early! I bought him a Coinmaster with a pee-wee pole.
How old is your son?

[tracyjm]

My boy is undersize for his age. He is 7 years old andweighs 41 lbs. My wife had triplets back in December of 2006. You could imaginethe shock at me finding out my wife was having triplets when I was 46 yrs. oldat the time. We had identical twin boys and a fraternal sister. The boysweighed 1lb 1 oz, 1 lb 3oz, and our little girl weighed 1lb 1oz. We lost one ofthe boys at 29 days. The other two werein the intensive care unit over in Indianapolis, In. for over 4 months. My boy had 5 major surgeries before he gotout and my girl had 3 major surgeries before she got out and then 2 after. Theywere literally miracle babies and million dollars babies by the time they leftthe hospital. My little girl was on a feeding tube for over 3 years. She has alot of physical problems but thankfully none you can see from looking at her.So when you asked how old my boy was I felt compelled to tell the short versionof why he’s a little undersized. He calls it treasure hunting when we get out andis my official finds carrier of the clad coins. JI bought him a Bounty Hunter Jr. and that’s about all he can handle right now.He loves to follow me around with mine and I get him involved as much as I can.My wife took the photo of him busy looking at what I had found. The two “treasure”hunters… I have ran a powder coating business for about 12 years and here is apicture of my kids in an old wagon that I restored that my grandfather hadrescued from a dump when I was just a kid. Thanks for asking…

They are beautiful John! :smitten:

I'm so sorry about your son. Unfortunately I know what it's like to lose a baby that little. Fraternal and identical twins in the same birth are so rare, wow!

I think it's great that your little guy is taking after his dad's hobby :)

[tracyjm]

I'm sorry about your loss also... Thanks for compliments! I always kid and say thank goodness they didn't get their looks from me. :) They definitely keep me busy...
