Well, the three oldest followed me out armed with SF's metal detector, two machetes, the MOAD, and my XdM 45 (there's a bear marking territory in the area). We got caught in a sudden downpour that drenched us to the bone. The weeds were thick and we never found it. We did discover, though, that the 7 year old girl has more sense than the rest of us--she was the only one with the sense to want to get out of the rain. Also learned that the boys LOVE slashing vegetation with machetes. Couldn't get them to stop. Too bad half the weeds out there are poison ivy. Hopefully, no one will start itching tonight...
