Yesterday we took Matt’s new Metal Detector our to the desert behind ourย house and began our quest for gold. ย The kids and Matt have been so excited waiting for it to arrive and studying up on all things prospecting. ย The weather has been fantastic and hit right at 70 degrees yesterday. ย The sunshine takes me happy but man that wind is something fierce.
You know, when I was growing up my Dad always had his metal detector. ย We camped often and all thoughout Washington State and the PNW. ย He mainly liked to look for old coins and I remembered the excitement when one was unearthed. ย The anticipation felt while cleaning it up and figuring out just how old it was. ย And finding countless bottletops. ย It’s funny how life is. ย How full circle things seem to go.
The quickly fell into routine and Matt hovered his Goldย Bug over the earth listening for beeps. ย When we got one Abby got down there with her pick axe and chiseled away. ย They would scoop out rock and filter it out until they found what they are looking for. ย Abby found a dime. ๐ ย And Matt found a couple silver nuggets! ย Sweet Jake just climbed from rock to rock. ย He is ย self proclaimed Mountaineer and apparently “leveled up” yesterday to a level 2. ย I love him!
I like to just watch and I enjoy taking photos of them while they do it. ย The change in scenery still has me in awe. ย And when they wear something colorful I just love how it pops against the desert landscape.
// And how perfect is Abby’s new Gunner and Lux Ghost Cactus necklace? I love it! She is wearing a Little Skye Exclusive Paperwings outfit and Native Jefferson shoes. ย Jake is in an older Kid + Kind tee and Bobo Choses sweats. //
