Good Morning All,
I was just thinking that I should do the intro thing.
I had originally found this site while looking for an "OLD" friend, whom I had lost contact with a couple of years ago. I knew he was into treasure hunting and somehow during the Google searches, I ended up here, and in order to make contact with him I needed to be a registered user. Soooooooo, that's where I'm at today.
Oddly enough, I am sort of into "treasure hunting" also and a few years ago bought a White's Prizm detector because I would always see this guy over at the school grounds with a dectector in the spring time and he would find a few gold , and other coins. Apparently they would heave up from the frost during the winter and he would be there digging them up. And that is all it took to give me the itch.
I have been out with my daughter and found quite a few coins...... quarters, nickels, dimes, and a bunch of pennies, bottle caps, pull tabs etc. My daughter did find a black hills gold ring too.
My user name comes from the town I grew up in, and I figured it's as good a name as any, and I knew that my lost friend would know instantly who it was that was writing to him. Funny thing though, he always pronounced it "Cows spell", not "Kal i spell".
You see, I joined the U.S. Air Force back in 1977, and got stationed at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. I worked as an Aircrew Life Support Technician. After my 4 year hitch, I went into the 419th TFW Reserves, and finished my remaining 16 years there. After my 2nd trip over to the "sand box", I had my fill and decided to retire from the military in 1997. I am currently still employed by the Government as a civil servant, although I plan on retiring from here in 4 short years.
I recently took a trip down to Satellite Beach in Florida to attend my long time friends retirement ceremony, and to just hang out on the beach for a couple weeks. It was a great trip and vacation. Oh, and one other thing............ my long time friend, well he is none other than one of your global moderators........... Wreckdiver1715.
After hearing the stories of the 1715 wrecks and such from Tom, and seeing all the goodies at the treasure museum's, it sure does get my mind stirring.
Anyway, that's enough for now.......... thanks for listening.
Bruce.
