Marc Hoover (Adventures in History) and I traveled to Altamonte, Utah for the 25th Anniversary Moon Lake Gathering, where hundreds of Treasure Hunters, Explorers, Adventurers and others came together to share their recent and past research, discoveries and adventures. It's was a weird, crazy cool adventure.

You can learn more about Moon Lake Gathering by watching the Aug 5 Detect America Podcast Show, American Digger Magazine's Relic Roundup on Aug 12, or by visiting the event link here.

I really enjoyed my spring escapade to Iowa with Marc and the Boys for 'Detecting the Heartland.' With dynamic hosts Casey and Mindy Oberreuter leading the way, alongside 200 fellow enthusiasts, this adventure was definitely one of the top highlights of my year. My 4" embroidered patches were a big hit, along with several other custom commemorative keepsakes.

2023 Florida Salvage Diving season

The 1715 Spanish Treasure Fleet salvage dive season has drawn to a close with one of our best years in recent past. Our recoveries aboard the Carib and Pandion included emeralds, pottery, ship spikes, lead sheathing, cannonballs, many encrusted objects, and a personal season high of 19 musket balls. Big thanks to my crew and fellow divers Bradley, Marc, Rob, Travis, Jerry, Jim, Angela, Andrew, and others. Included in the gallery below are several salvage dive inspired art pieces.
