I have been detecting for a long time and have spent three years in the seventies as the president of The Wisconsin Association of Treasure Hunters, where I have had the pleasure of meeting the worlds most wonderful people. So for you old timers out there that might not recognize me today I am also posting some old pictures. In the first one the strawberry demi jon was purchased at a rummage sale for $3. To show you that I was not always old and ugly I am including a photo of me with my wife, she is on your left and a friend on the right. This was me when I was well into detecting. Also there is a picture of my wife with my first born. That is one of my favorite photos. I am retired and am an author, having wrote The Adventures of Diana, the underworld.
