Why do you treasure hunt?

[tmanfromtexas]

I travel alot with my job. Sometimes I am at a site for months at a time sometimes, like this project for years. I like to get out and hunt to pass the time, find some good stuff and hunt with two buddies I met here in Indiana. I have hunted in Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, New Mexico, California, Indiana and Illinois. SMAN...

i like to be able to hold something in my hand that may have been there a 100 years people walking over it ect... and i get to find it .. wonder who had it , was it important to them, just the mystery of it all .

benny likes it for the history of it , every time he finds anything "we" usually me has to look it up for him right away.

I'm a third generation treasure hunter. So I guess it's in my blood! Thing is, the passion didn't "wake up" till I was Nineteen. Now it's an unstopable love of history and treasure that drives me. Even a coin that is only 1 year old has seen some things I haven't.
