I was asked to be interviewed by Ann Nyberg a celebrated and award-winning anchorperson for Channel 8 news in CT. We discussed my start in detecting 37 years ago, my membership in three CT clubs Nutmeg Treasure Hunters, Yankee Territory Coin shooters, and Southern New England Relic Hunters and most recently my membership in the @theringfinders,com organization. Ann asked my favorite find over the years and there’s been so many that it was hard to choose just one. But I chose a very meaningful one for me that was about a young boy losing his heirloom Grandfathers ring in the ocean and giving up hope until his mother contacted me and after three tries of narrowing the location where he had been playing catch in the ocean and using his hand drawn treasure map , I was able to locate the ring. His mother cooked a meal for our club, and we awarded the ring back that night and she honored me with a beautiful St Anthony medal.

Wayne is a highly experienced individual in his favorite hobby, Metal-detecting”! How do I know? After viewing this interview, I called Wayne to ask if he can possibly find my lost wedding ring, (lost 5 years ago). He is just a “real nice person”, modest, and genuinely empathetic toward recovering a lost item(ring,etc. ) He traveled (50 miles) to my home. Together with his friend Dan, they found my ring within 1/2 hour of combined search! — I’m So impressed and of course Thankful to Wayne and Dan ! Awesome!!!!
