For Christmas 2007, my wife
gave me a Bounty Hunter, Fortune Hunter model metal detector and I’ve been
hooked on Treasure Hunting ever since.
Today she gave me a Bounty Hunter, Elite 2200 model to replace the old
metal detector that I had joyfully worn out over 8 seasons of Treasure Hunting.
Thank you, Dear.
I have made
a real science out of Treasure Hunting.
I have created Word files for each year or season and have documented
the dollar amounts and the unusual treasures I have found. I include treasure I find without the
detector and things I find just by observing while using the detector. I also include dollar amounts for treasure
items I have sold to friends or the local Jewelry makers who buy some of my
silver & gold. To date I have found $2766.47 in 8 seasons. Not bad, eh!

Bounty Hunter, Elite 2200 |
The
beautiful thing is that I get to spend time outside in beautiful settings
looking for treasure. I get my exercise
and fresh air while enjoying the thrill of the hunt. I’ll probably never get rich using my Bounty
Hunter, Elite 2200 but, I get lots of “me time”. I like to write funny stories for my Agent 54 blog. Often story ideas and jokes come
to me when I’m in the field doing my treasure hunting thing.
I enjoy
cleaning and sorting my treasure when I come home too. I often find foreign coins that I look up on
the internet. It’s fascinating to learn
about different cultures this way. I
keep the foreign coins and other treasure items in different cigar boxes around
my treasure (formerly office) room. I
have a necklace and ring rack and many small jewelry boxes for post
earrings. It gives me great satisfaction
to look around my treasure room and see all this and 4 jars for American coins
and Tokens, “No Cash Value”.

I’m looking
forward to many more years of Treasure Hunting with my new toy. I’m sure I’ll have more great pictures to
show you in the coming seasons.
Wish me
luck!

I dug up this Golden State Mint "Copper
Round" today (2/13/16).
It's not legal tender or very valuable but, it is
very cool.
