In this issue:

Always Looking
There is great satisfaction in teaching an already diehard collector the art of metal detecting. It’s even better when he finds something spectacular on his first solo trip. By Art Di Filippo

The Story Withing
For every find made, there is a story. Sometimes we concentrate so much on the excitement of the relic that we forget the preparation and research that were required to recover it. By Wayne Hartzell

Estimating the Age of Antique Bottles
Dating the age of an old bottle can be a daunting and inexact science. Perhaps the best way is by recognizing when certain manufacturing processes were used. By Capt. Dan Berg

The Queen of the Caribbees
Sugar was king on the Caribbean island of Nevis, and the plantation owners lived like royalty. Now, the author uses a metal detector to explore a kingdom lost in time. By Michael Chaplan

The Danny Elkins Story: 52 Years of Discovery
Thanks to one legend interviewing another, we are treated to a historical conversation concerning the early days of Civil War relic hunting in Virginia. By Dennis Cox and Danny Elkins
