The Kid

So sometimes I get to take my God-daughter's wee boy (aged six) out for the day; he has adopted me as his granddad, which is nice. I recently took him to Turnberry where we tried a bit of metal detecting on the shore. He was a bit wee to lug a big heavy detector around so he was in charge of digging. We dug up a wee blackened metal box and I put it in the rubbish bag. We went on to explore the old castle where a boy was born long ago; he grew to be the Man Who Would Be King - Robert Bruce. (note no metal detecting around the castle itself, it's an ancient monument). Later we explored Dunure Castle too. The kid was a bit miffed that we did not find treasure, but when we got home I cleaned up the wee blackened metal box and it turns out to be a silver matchbox holder. Treasure after all !

Here's the silver from our day out at the beach. But as me old shipmate Cap'n Jack points out so well, "Not all treasure is silver and gold..."

A nice find, and well done on taking the wee man on " treasure hunts" as he will probably see it. Respect to you sir.
