Hobbies: Geocaching My primary hobby at present (2012) is geocaching. Geocaching is a sport where you use a hand-held GPS unit to locate containers (caches) hidden in the wilderness or urban settings. The primary web site for geocaching is www.geocaching.com. |
Another of my YouTube videos on geocaching is: http://youtu.be/yo5uKp3Vlx8.
|
 Many caches require that you visit and gather information from historical landmarks. |

Many caches are hidden in the woods or in hard-to-find locations. This one is barely visible at the base of the bush at left.  |
Cache containers come in all shapes and sizes.  |

Hobbies: Metal Detecting |
My other metal detecting videos: Treasure hunting with a pin-pointer: http://youtu.be/MbaP69jslh8. Metal Detecting in 1850: http://youtu.be/Xl_brArteTY. Review of Tesoro Golden Umax: http://youtu.be/S-B4IPqkK1g. |

Coins aren't the only things you find: There's lots of jewelry and relics. |

Joining a metal detector club helps you learn quickly. |
A modern detector tells you what's in the ground even before you start digging,
making it much more productive. You can distinguish coins from junk and one coin
from another. |
