I have an old youtube site of my own
CASPER METAL DETECTING
around when I started it a guy named PIJoeCt wrote and asked if i could
send him pics of finds I made Connecticut so he could do a vid
This is just some - have easily doubled them since then
he was nice enough to do this one for me - I supplied the music also

Amazing! My friend, Rusty Henry, is also an old timer! He used his first metal detector in 1968, as a Navy Frogman on Underwater Demolition Team 22. That machine was built by Telex in New York, and cost the Navy $3,800.00! He got his first “civilian” detector, a Garrett Master Hunter BFO, in 1969. From 1969, through 1974, Rusty was a Navy SEAL Team 2 member, and averaged three-hours a day, 250-days a year detecting! By 1974, Rusty had found over 500-rings, countless Civil War relics, and over 50,000 coins!

After leaving the Navy in 1978, Rusty became Vice President of Bounty Hunter Inc, in Tempe, AZ. He hadn’t been there long, when the first report of a gold nugget found with a metal detector in Australia came in. The nugget was found at Cue, in Western Australia. That first report was followed in weeks by even more spectacular finds there, and in Victoria.

Rusty folded his tent, and he and his family immigrated to Australia! He spent the next 10-years swinging a metal detector 8-10 hours a day, 200-250 days a year! It is estimated that by 1995, Rusty had over 35,000-hours of experience using metal detectors and gold nugget shooting.

Many of you may know Rusty as a Vice President at Tesoro Metal Detectors, for over 20-years.

Been detecting since 1975 age 12
I just realized this will be 50th yr - if Im able to get out
I hit over 1000 pieces of gold a few yrs ago
would be a lot higher if i lived closer to the ocean
last few yrs have been real tough - i retired like 3 yrs ago - i thought id be able
to hunt almost every day...due to multiple health issues ive only been out like a dozen times
