Relic and Treasure Hunting

Relic and Treasure hunting…

  • You never know enough
  • You never have it totally figured out
  • Always dependent upon the weather
  • Batteries can make or break your day
  • Always something new to learn, today it is LIDAR imaging software, yesterday it was Ojibwe and Sioux languages, the day before it was the Spanish, French, British history of discovery in my backyard, and the mechanics of my truck and ATV on top of that.
  • No matter how much you spend on a metal detector, it is the flaky rusty nail that will always ring up as silver.
  • You never truly know what exactly lays beneath your toes in the sod.
  • No matter what the treasure you seek…you will find more treasure you were not looking for in the first place along the way.
  • Everyone wants to see the goods, but only you will suffer through the daily grind.
  • You will always give away more than you hold close to your vest.

And yet, through it all the experience is priceless as long as you enjoy the ride.
