That's one of the great things about taking the kids on a hunt........They're nearly always positive about expecting the best. My son always tells me that the next hunt will be the one with the BIG gold ring...................hasn't happened yet but he always instills me with confidence before I go. Love the wee ESSO pump too. Curiously, I haven't found any toys yet other than the butt of a capgun.
