Many Benefits Of This Wonderful Hobby Of Metal Detecting

My purpose of creating and maintaining this web site is not only to be an ambassador of the great outdoor hobby and introduce public to the international aspect of treasure hunting but also to express its diverse benefits: active lifestyle, inspirational excitement of discovery, educational learning of history through research, developing one's discipline and a strong character, meeting new people and making good friends, traveling to new places, and, most important, learning about yourself.

You will also learn more about coin shooting, cache hunting and relic hunting from my experiences.

I'll continue adding more illustrated stories to the site as soon as I sort out and edit all material collected during my metal detecting trips.

My New Stories From My Last Trip To Eastern Europe

Last summer, I travelled to Ukraine and the Karelian Isthmus in Russia, visited interesting places, made new friends among local treasure hunters, recovered some cool finds, and took over two thousands pictures. On the Detecting in Ukraine page, you will find my new exclusive story Metal Detecting the Medieval Sites, and on the Detecting in Russia page, you can find story Relic Hunting in Karelia in which I busted the myth about the scarcity of medieval relic finds on Karelian Isthmus.

In order to help you in catching up with new articles on my website, I created a new section - Visitor's Corner where you will find out about all updates and new stories.

By the suggestion of my friends, who wanted me to prove the myth about beautiful women of Eastern Europe, I developed a photogallery of 500 images that depict gorgeous women from Russia, Estonia, and Ukraine - Women of Eastern Europe. Over 300 new pictures have recently been added to this photogallery.

Treasure Hunting In The USA

You might have seen my treasure hunting stories with pictures posted on the major Metal Detecting Forums in North America. A few of those posts have already been converted into detailed stories and are available in Metal Detecting In The USA section. The stories Searching For Large Cents and Metal Detecting In Large Cents Land Again might inspire you to go treasure hunting immediately!

The story on Discovery of An Exquisite Bronze Sculpture will tell you about one of my best finds, a truly beautiful piece of art work.

I included short stories on Discovery of My First Coin Cache and Discovery of Ancient Bronze Arrowhead in My Best Finds section where there are many pictures of domestic finds, which include the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and Colonial relics, US coins, and US buttons, as well as foreign finds from my treasure hunting trips overseas. I'm preparing a few pages with lots of information on those categories. Recently added pages on WW2 Military Relic Hunting, WW2 - Eastern Front and Casualties of WW2.

I have just added a new page to the 'Numismatic Corner' section, US Coins, where you will find basic numismatic information on Large Cents, and other types of the US coins, and Spanish Reales. More pages will be added shortly.

Please don't forget to visit and revisit the Photo Galleries Directory page where you will find compilations of many interesting and outstanding photos. New pictures are being added time to time.

If you would like to start your own website, read my page on How To Choose the Right Web Host for Your Website.

Share Your Metal Detecting Experiences

I encourage all hobby enthusiasts to show the pictures of their finds in a new section - Other Treasure Hunters' Finds. If you'd like to have your own story with photographs posted on my web site, you are more than welcome to do so and your information. I would be happy to accommodate other fellow treasure hunters and metal detectorists in sharing their exciting stories with the Metal Detecting Community worldwide.

Need Help With Coin ID And Numismatic Info?

I am also offering my help in identification of any Russian coin as I have all the detailed and hard-to-find Russian coin catalogs. If you can not ID a coin in your collection, please its picture. I'll do my best and let you know the results as soon as possible. I'm also preparing a few pages on numismatic and historical information on both US and foreign coins. As a reference, such info could be helpful to many metal detectorists and coin collectors.
