UTAH'S WHO'S WHO




I run into a lot of people who are out treasure hunting in one form or another, this page is dedicated to them.

If you are from Utah, and would like to be included in this page, e-mail me and let me know.




CLIFFORD CARTER

When Clifford retired he knew he needed something to keep himself occupied, he decided he would buy a metal detector. He didnt just buy one and let it sit in the closet like most people do. He studied it, and when he wasn't sure of something, or how things worked on it, he would come over to my house and ask questions until he got it right. Armed with his new detector, a Tesoro Bandido, and the knowledge on how to properly use it, he set out to see what he could find. In 1997 he found 3329 coins and 13 rings, just one of the rings alone was worth more than enough to pay for his detector. In 1998 he found 1998 coins and 21 rings. Not only is he having fun doing this, but he says its good excercise.








KENT (RAMBO) BLANCO


Rambo started metal detecting in 1987. To date, he has found 25 rings, over 5000 coins with many of them being silver. He takes the regular coins that he finds and trades them in for Morgan Silver dollars, which he says he now has quite a collection of. He has found a lot of unusual items, an old antique nut cracker that someone offered him $50.00 on the spot for it, but he turned the guy down because he likes to collect old antiques himself. He also found an old Sherrifs badge. The only time he is not out metal detecting is when he is either at work or asleep. He owns a Tesoro Lobo and once took the housing of it and mounted it to an inner tube so that he could take the coil along with the long cord and check out an old swiming hole, where he found a lot of great finds.






TERRY CRAIGMILES


Terry uses a Tesoro Bandido U-Max, and has learned how to use it well. He says he finds a ring almost every time he goes out, and he has quite a collection of rings to prove it.
