The improvements in technology have corresponded inversely to the number of people using them. Metal detecting for gold as well as treasure has become very popular. Erosion during the past century has exposed millions of tons of virgin substrata for prospectors of today, and metal detectors will increase the chance of discovering new placers.

There’s no better expert on metal detector technology than Garrett. Great as those detectors are, they require some training to use them. Garrett provides the best ‘how-to’ advice available. His book will give you the straight-forward means to practice with it before you begin trekking into the canyons or sweeping old school yards for coins.

Another story from the UK

Keith Bennett was using his metal detector on a Stratford farm owner’s field when his metal detector suddenly alerted him of a strong signal. This strong signal turned out to be over 1,400 Roman coins (or Denarii as they were called back in the day) dating back between 2006 BC to 195 BC! The coins have already been deemed “authentic treasure” which is good in case someone was trying to play a big practical joke on Mr. Bennett.

The silver Roman coins were stashed in a large pot (4 feet deep) that was broken on the top half. It seems as though the pot had been struck when the field was being plowed, causing a few coins to be scattered around the pot. Since this was a rather large collection of coins, it is possible that they could be tied to a wealthy land owner back in Emperor Augustus (or perhaps earlier) reign.

This treasure is expected to bring in tens and thousands of pounds, and Mr. Bennett supposedly allowed to keep half; I can only imagine the sensation of coming across such a historic find. As you can imagine he was quite stunned as you can reflect from his words:

“I just had an incredible feeling of history and going back in time. I felt a sense of connection with the person who buried these coins all those years ago. I wondered who they were and why they didn’t come back for it. It was brilliant – an experience everyone should have.”

Learn how to do it and you still mightn’t find gold treasure who knows, but you’ll certainly find the greatest treasure of them all: solitude.

Oh yeah!

It's Friday!

And the love is everywhere!

People are smilin' at each other on the sidewalk.

Hugs are flyin' around everywhere back and forth.

The weather's been incredible.

Flowers are bloomin' all over the place!

The leaves are fillin' up the trees.

I'm going on a roadtrip.

A long and awesome roadtrip.

The kids wanna go camping.

There's a place down in Arkansas where you can find these giant crystals.

We'll spend the weekend there campin' and digging for the giant quartz crystals.

Then I think we'll stop in Hot Springs and grab a hotel and enjoy the hot springs there.

I love loungin' in the hot springs.

I've always been a big fan of 'lounging' and the hot springs make it so much better.

The next day the roadtrip' continues in the spirit of exploration and adventure we'll head south...

to New Orleans.

I got us a cush hotel room in a haunted old hotel...

with eighteen foot ceilings in the rooms...

you can totally get some wicked air jumpin' on the bed with a ceiling that high!

I think we'll stay there for the week.

We'll explore the French Quarter, the Warehouse District, the Garden District and I gotta stop in at Marie LaVeau's House of Voodoo to stock up on amulets, antidotes, voodoo love potions and stuff.

I am gonna be shootin' street something fierce from here all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.

Just gonna hit the Mississippi River, take a left and follow the Big Muddy south.

The kids wanna go on one of those airboats in the swamps too.

They wanna see the ocean.

They wanna catch an alligator.

No... they really wanna watch me catch an alligator.

They're always tryin' to get me to wrestle alligators.

Man it's gonna be a good time.

I'm lovin' life.

I could feel the love you know?

I love takin' the family on long roadtrips.

I downloaded all the 'Weird and Strange America' stuff on my GPS.

And since I'm a Dad we'll be stopping at every single historical marker on the way.

Where I will read it aloud and imagine how it was... and the kids will wonder what they've done to deserve it.

I've got every one of those historical markers stored in the TomTom GPS too.

Along with the Civil War Battlefields, famous plane crash sites, haunted places...

I got Roadtrip Bingo cards and everything.

I do just dig an awesome road trip.

I hope you got some good plans for the weekend.

I hope you're feelin' the Friday-Love mojo deep!

Springtime is here and it just adds to the love.

You know I'd take you with me if I could.

A roadtrip with the Viewminder is somethin' you'll either never forget or really wish you could.

You have the best weekend ever.

Feed your soul.

Get filled up with love.

Enjoy life with everything you got.

You deserve to feel the love!

Friday-Love!

You Tell 'Em Willie
