About Ron                                                                                                       

I have been detecting since 1983, I started with a radio shack microna 2001 after losing my high school ring at El Toro air base in California. Never found my ring but have made many wonderful discoveries since. 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 discovered the joy of water hunting I use a Whites surfmaster II in the water.  I use a Whites MXT on land and recently bought a Minelab Explorer SE. 

In June of 1999 I joined the Midwest Historical Research Society the local detecting club. And was elected president in 2002. We currently have about 90 members. 

I have been going to England twice a year near since 2005.

They say it never snows in England, HA! This is what the English countryside looked like first morning during my March trip. It may not stay on the ground very long but it's just as cold to hunt in as it is here in Chicago.
