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.
