“I guess we could do that. Most girls aren’t interested in metal detectors. Let me go get it.”
“You do that Dave Mathews. And most girls aren’t in the engineering program so that is why they aren’t interested. I am.”
“You just hold it a few inches of the ground and wave it around,” said Dave. He waved the detector across a small area and walked forward. After walking a few feet it beeped. Whenever he waved it over the same area it beeped again.
“Does that beeping sound mean you found something?” asked Deborah.
“Maybe,” said Dave. He knelt down and began digging with a small trowel. He picked up a small object and handed it to Bridget.
She looked at it. “It’s a nail.” She was about to throw it down.
