I found Jimmy Sierra.........In real life!

[tymcmurray]

While on a trip to California recently, my friend, his wife, and I
were visiting the redwoods when I heard a voice that sounded
very familiar. I turned around and found Jimmy Sierra standing
right behind me.
Being the shy person I am, I said hello, shook his hand, began
to ask him all kind of detecting questions, and, of course, asked
for a photo.



By the way, He is a VERY nice guy and also humble.

I would have asked him, "So, Normandi, how is Ken White at White's?"

how do u know his voice?

That was a nice surprise.

He's one of the original treasure hunters, and reading his stories 20+ years ago is
one of the reasons I got into this hobby.

I watched a show about the "Goat Doctor" cache he found, and just read recently
that it was stolen from him, and that really ticked me off, because first, I hate thieves, and second, because he seems like such a nice person.

I am jealous, congrats on being in the right place at the right time.
He does have a very recognizable voice. I have heard it before watching
Treasure Hunting America.

Very cool. I take it by that shirt you were in the redwood forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I used to live about 20 minutes from there near San Jose.
Those redwoods are HUGE!!!
Great experience you had there.

Yes I did detect the beaches at Santa Cruz. I used to live
in Monterey, too many years ago,. That is a beautiful
area. I took my wife and daughter back to Santa Cruz a
couple weeks later and got to detect every morning for a
week.

Really cool to meet him I bet....I wonder after all this time if he gets tired of the questions he gets asked. Pro'ly not. I would have liked to talk to him for a while...

Keep safe...

I wasn't gong to ask him any "business" questions, but HE encouraged
me to go ahead. Great guy!
