Yesterday I was interviewed by a NJ magazine. It was related to my metal detecting services. The article should be out sometime this summers. I will post a link here when it is available. The next step is a photo shoot.
One of the questions was about metal detecting rules. There is a code of ethics for metal detectorists. Do you follow them? Here they are:
I don’t know about you, but I like reading about other metal detectorists who are able to find and return lost items. Or they find historical artifacts.
There was an article in our local paper, this week, about a woman who lost a ring about 10 years ago. This ring was in the family since 1914. A friend of the family asked the husband if he could search their yard, with his metal detector to look for old items.
Well guess what he found in the back yard? The ring pictured below. I have also included a link to the news paper article. These stories are GREAT exposure for our hobby. It help to break the stereotype mental image of the old guy, on a beach detecting around all of the beach blankets, leaving deep holes everywhere.
