Treasure Under Your Feet – A Metal Detecting Workshop by Ray Williams
Immediate Past President of Colonial Coin Collectors Club (C4) Ray Williams will be giving a special presentation on Metal Detecting called “Treasure Under Your Feet” on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 in Galloway Township, NJ.
After Ray’s presentation he’ll answer your questions on metal detecting. If you own a metal detector or have treasures that you’ve found – bring them to this hands-on workshop. If you’re interested in learning more about this exciting hobby, bring your questions.
In this session you’ll learn how a metal detector works, how to discriminate between treasure and trash, and how to save your digging for when it’s actually worthwhile. Ray will also demonstrate how various items sound when your detector gets a “hit” and provide helpful tips at how best to excavate your treasure.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PRESENTATION THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS!
ACNS is conveniently located less than five miles away from numerous popular beach destinations — all ripe for detecting after a busy summer tourist season and the wrath of hurricane Irene. There’s never been a better time to pick up the hobby of metal detecting — and with metal prices at historical highs, the “treasure under you’re feet” can be truly valuable.
Ray’s Metal Detecting presentation at the Whitman Expo in Philadelphia was excellent and inspiring. I posted a small photo gallery from it here.
