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.

I was working on my silhouette shots today at the beach. I got this one though, and I like it. The kids were playing at the edge of the water, looking for crabs and jelly fish. I thought it made for a cute photo of the two of them. Bonus, they were getting along great with each other!
