About Dirt Fishing Adventures

Metal Detecting, treasure hunting, hobbies, rhode island, massachusetts, connecticut

Proudly dirt fishing since 1995

An out of the blue opportunity to spend the summer of 1995 in a beach house led to the purchase of a Tesoro Silver Sabre II metal detector, and a metal detecting journey began.  Since then, Brian has founded a club at the high school where he's taught for over 20 years, written multiple articles for the now defunct Western & Eastern Treasures magazine, published a book on metal detecting, taught metal detecting classes to teen and adult learners, and has been guiding clients on metal detecting hunts in the field.  We like to call them "Dirt Fishing Adventures."

I'm so jealous of metal detectorists in England as they get to find things so much older than we do in America.  Case in point is this 2,300+ year old gold find.

lars Nielsen probably never thought he'd find something that rewrote Danish history, but his gold ring find just may do that.

" Best of the best with no hidden agenda trying to sell you something... Buy it, you will NOT regret it, and be glad you did. "  Book Candy
