Montana Larry 1969 Treasure Hunter

[chirper97]

National Prospectors Gazette, Vol. 6 No. 1 Aug-Sep 1969 had the following photo of often mentioned Montana Larry Campbell. Karl von Mueller always thought highly of this seasoned treasure hunter.

Karl captioned the photo: "Montana Larry. This is probably the only photograph of the legendary TH'er eve published. His is shown testing the prototype of this Fisher Metalert 70 detector early in 1968".


Can any treasurenet members post information/biography of this secretive gentleman?

Thanks Siegfried,

I figured you would be the person to know.

Here's a toast to Montana Larry! Larry, I pray you found your Treasure in heaven!

Godspeed.

His next door neighbor gets on here occasionally and
can add more when he sees this. I never met the man
because he was working west of the Mississippi while
I was working east of the Mississippi. I've heard
about things that he and KvM pulled off for years.
They recovered the silver bullion that was turned into
the Exanimo arrowheads by snowmobile during a blizzard.
