1. FINDING HISTORY (tìm hiểu lịch sử)          

2. WEEKEND FUN (cuối tuần vui vẻ)

January 15

Metal detecting is a great hobby for people interested in history. I first tried it after I got a metal detector for my tenth birthday. I saved up my money and bought a new one last year. Now that I have my own one, I go metal detecting every weekend.

I usually go with my friend, Adam. It's more fun to go with someone else because you have someone to talk to.

It can take hours before you find something. Last Sunday, after I spent the whole day looking, I only found an old bottle top. So, you don't always find treasure!

People think it's an expensive hobby, but I don't think so. The last metal detector I bought cost me two hundred dollars. But apart from that, you only need a cheap shovel and lots of time. Some of my friends think it's boring, but I disagree. The noise your metal detector makes when it finds something is really exciting. There's so much history under the ground. Last summer, Adam and I found a really old gold coin. It was over a thousand years old. It's in the Oregon History Museum now. That was pretty amazing.
