On the 26th of August 2022, Erin and I decided that we would finally have a date day. It has been months (11) to be exact, that we’ve been able to go with just ourselves and do something fun for an afternoon. Erins mother (Janice) has been absolutely incredible since Caspian has been born. Taking…

Where it all started
First things first I suppose. Where did I get the idea to start looking for buried treasures? Well I have always really wanted to own a metal detector from a young age. My older sister had one when I was a child and I remember trying to sneak off with it to look for gold…
