I gave a presentation on Treasurehunting to a group of 4th graders at Northwestern university. The class is a 1 week course on Treasure hunting. This is the 2nd year I have been asked to give this presentation. I had a blast showing some of my finds from the last 27 years of detecting, then after lunch we went out and dug a few targets. Several clad coins and a wheat penny.

I also got a call from the owner of the class ring I found last week, he is also coming to the firehouse on Friday to pick up his ring. 2 ring returns in one week thats a first!
