One More Dig: Metal Detecting Stories

A lighthearted look into the world of Metal Detecting including stories, equipment, information, finds and recommendations. Metal Detecting has a different meaning for each of us. For me it is a relaxing way to uncover history. Maybe not always gold or silver, but clues to who walked, lived and played in a location. My interests lie in colonial homes and farms. Living in New Hampshire these opportunities are all around. These types of sites are abundant from Maine to Virginia and everywhere in between. Hopefully this podcast will inspire you to go out and pursue your metal detecting dreams. And remember to always make One More Dig-It could be the find of a lifetime. You can email me with questions and comments at omdstories@gmail.com.

Metal Detecting has been a part of my life since the early 1980s. My father bought me a Whites Beachcomber which was very basic-no discrimination. He would bring me hunting with him and his friends and I would be so excited to find silver dimes. At 12 years old I found a 10k gold mens signet ring, which I wore to dinner after as a badge of honor. Over the years I've bought and used many detectors-I mean a lot of detectors. I have been very fortunate to find so many amazing artifacts and coins. I am in love with colonial history and spend most of my time detecting at colonial homesteads and in their fields (plowed and not plowed). I hope you enjoy listening to my stories. There are many from over 40 years of digging.
