About Me: I have been a Treasure Hunter for more than 40 Years! I have been detecting since 1983, I starting with a Radio Shack microna 2001 after losing my high school ring at El Toro air base in California. I never found my ring but have made many wonderful discoveries since. I was hooked after only the first week, finding my first walking liberty half dollar. Soon upgraded to a Whites 5000di increasing the quantity and quality of my finds. Returned to Chicago in 1985 and hunted off and on over the next 12 years. In 1997 after getting a job with the Chicago fire dept I started hunting in earnest again. In 1999 I discovered the joy of water hunting and used a Minelab Equinox 800 in the water. I use a Minelab Equinox 900 and Deus 2 for hunting land and water, Also have a nemo blu3 dive system. In June of 1999 I joined the The Midwest Historical Research Society my local detecting club. I was president from 2002 to 2010 I have been going to England twice a year near since 2005 which has opened up a whole new area for ancient finds.
