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!

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!

 My “Wheaties” are in the box on the right. More “Wheaties” in blue collector’s pads. Foreign and special coins are in center cigar box with Canadian coins in far right box. I found all these coins. I never buy coins.  A good day of "Coin Shooting". |

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.

Thank you. I find other things like Marbles.
DeletePlease come back and read some of the funny things I write.
How fun. I may be asking for a metal detector for my birthday. Thanks for dropping by the #ThisIsHowWeRoll Link Party at Organized 31.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. Please visit my blog early and often. Maybe I can make you laugh.
DeleteWow, I can see how you'd get hooked on this hobby! Thanks for linking up with #NaturallyCrafty
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to find people who can appreciate my treasure.
DeleteThanks for visiting.
Wow, Tim! You could have a swap meet biz on the side with that loot. My uncle used to do that on the beach in Bethany, DE. He used to find wedding rings, coins, etc. Being an antique expert, he could sometimes make a dollar or two on his finds. Hope you do the same!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've found a lot of stuff over the 9 years I've been doing this. It's not really all that valuable except to me. I think it looks cool in the cigar box.
DeleteWhat a great hobby! So fun. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it gets me outside too.
