You know the old saying, the couple that metal detects together, stays together. Alright, maybe no one has ever said that, but it’s no secret that many happy couples enjoy sharing hobbies. 10 years ago when Adventure Archaeology and his wife got married, she became enamored with a television program about metal detecting. She was thrilled when her husband informed her they could start metal detecting together. “I said, well, you know, we could do that, we could go out and hunt for old coins and rings and jewelry, all that kind of fun stuff,” he said. As it turns out, metal detecting runs in the family, “Truthfully, I'm a second generation treasure hunter. So my dad's been metal detecting and model digging since the early 1980s. And he actually still has his original 1982 Garrett machine that he swears by,” he said. The newlyweds borrowed one of his dad's machines and took it out, “She found her first set of coins. And from there she was hooked,” he explained. When asked what he loves to share with others about metal detecting, Adventure Archaeology said, the thrill of the hunt is one of the best parts. “Every time you go out, whether you're hunting for cloud coins in a park or you're out in an old abandoned colonial site or a civil war battlefield, you never know what you're gonna find. But every time one thing is guaranteed. You're gonna have a blast while you're doing it,” he said.
