Hello Everybody-I’ve wanted to post for a few days/weeks now, but as you know, I always like to run at “full throttle”. These past few weeks have been no different. Since the Michigan trip, I have taken a more “progressive” approach toward the great hobby/sport of metal detecting and relic hunting. First, A little over two weeks ago I found 3 silver rings in one football-field…. and that was only half of the field. I went ahead and drove back the next weekend and found a larger silver dolphin ring in the field. Along with the usual clad, this week I found a .925 Celtic cross and a 5c coin from the Republic of Liberia (W. Africa), and when this bright coin, with an ocean scene on it, came out of the ground- it had me going for a few seconds…Unfortunately I think the light weight material is aluminum. Besides Treasure Hunting, I have customized some of my detecting equipment, made a sifter box, built a bottle probe, started my GIS courses, and have taken the time to gain some bottle hunting experience…that continuing adventure will be posted on another day.
Most importantly, I shook off the nasty-disposition and self-skepticism that I couldn’t make my own website. Ever since I saw Bill’s Yoopercoinshooters website, I realized that I could build my own website... and I did. Along with the GIS courses, I have learned a lot about technology and the web. Beside the site, I now have a Google phone #, another g-mail, business cards with my info, along with other technology to aid my pursuits. So far-so good, but like many things in life, the web-site is a work in progress. I’ve only had a modest amount of people visit, but hey, at least now it is showing up on Google’s search engine. Since there are no other existent websites in the Pikes Peak Region, I believe that I will meet more interesting people, gather ol’ stories/maps, and potentially gain permission to hunt on some more good sites. At very least, if I drop off a flyer (yet to be made) or a business card, people have an online space to check out. I think that’s important and it makes me (and associates) look that much more credible in this day and age.
So if you get a chance in-between your adventures… climb up the mountain a bit, come on over and visit me up at http://pikespeakmetaldetecting.com . Check it out, see my photo gallery, read my blog, and who knows… maybe you will want to build your own website too.
Keep it Up!

Checked out your new web site, very nice job I enjoyed my time spent looking it over and I will continue to "lurk" as you update and finish building it.
