I'm going to miss you Dennis, I appreciated your patience when I asked you so many questions, and I enjoyed our talks via pm, I only wish we had been able to have met in person.


Rest in peace my friend, maybe one day we will met.

It saddens me to hear of Dennis's (AKA Sandman's) passing.I have known him for over 23 years. When I got my first computer back in 1995, I accidentally came across the Treasurenet website. I was fascinated on what people were finding with metal detectors and I started asking a lot of questions and the first person to respond to my questions was Sandman. He was a bundle of knowledge. He was the person who got me hooked in metal detecting. I ran out and got my first detector, a Garrett Freedom Ace. At first I found a lot of junk and Sandman kept telling me to listen to the tones, Learn your machine inside and out, dig everything until you start training your ears what is a good tone and what is not. By the end of my first year, I found enough change to pay for my detector, which was over $200.00 at that time. As I kept reading post, one of the things I wanted to find was a ring and I told Sandman that. He said, "If your not finding nickles, your not finding rings". I still stay true to his words to this very day and have told many new to our hobby that same quote. The best thing I remember about Sandman was into my third year of detecting, I had found a couple rings from last year, but this year started out with a bang. I already had 10 rings to my credit and Sandman had only 6 I believe. As the days in summer moved on, I was getting more and more rings and all of a sudden, Sandman was tied with me. We were into the thirty ring category. Then all of a sudden he blew me away in ring count. By the end of the year my ring count for one year was 53 rings and Sandman.....Well that guy had over 200 rings to his credit that year and he had proof too. He was a water detectorist and very very good at it as you could tell. I always wanted to get together with him to detect since we both lived in Michigan but that never happened. With family life (2 kids active in almost everything) and work, it never happened. I had to step away for a couple years from detecting because of my health. I was severely over weight (410 lbs) and my blood pressure was out of control, so I had gastric bypass surgery and lost over 160lbs. Now I am back detecting and enjoying it even better than before all thanks to a guy that answered my post about detecting. I will miss seeing his post out here, but he will live on. Remember, "If your not finding nickles, your not finding rings". R.I.P. Sandman.

I wondered why I hadn't seen him around the local waterways.
Rest in Peace Dennis.
