Hello everyone! Long time treasure hunter/commercial diver here. I have been enjoying the forums very much and thought i'd join you fine folks! I have been treasure hunting since 1975 and used a whites coinmaster 2 ( I think) hunting local parks and schools and I was hooked. Growing up watching Sea Hunt reruns and Jacques Cousteau gave me the incentive to become a certified diver in 1976 and exploring lakes and streams for antique glass was my summer pasttime. Several years later my family and I moved to the coast and the search for shipwrecks and lost gold began.
My first underwater machine was a whites PI1000 that I wore out , followed be a Garret Sea Hunter that I wore out , followed by a Fisher Impulse and presently use a Minelab Excalibur II and soon will be testing the Minelab Manticore at some of my Underwater sites.
As a commercial diver and working in the marine industry I've had the opportunity to dive all along the east coast of the U.S, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. As my collection grew my interests lead me to study the jewelry industry with a well known goldsmith learning the retail trade. Later starting my own jewelry business specializing in estate jewelry and antique silver I've had the opportunity to share my enthusiasm and have learned a lot from others. Now retired I look forward to spending more time in the search!
