The Perfect Job for LordMarcovan

Yesterday, after reading LordMarcovan's recount of his detectorist adventures and fossil hunt, I had a great idea (I average 1 per 3 years). He should work as a numismatic correspondent serving aboard and reporting from the Odyssey Explorer. What better position could there be for a numismatist slash treasure hunter slash writer?

    The metal hull would keep setting his detector off...

    Plus with a correspondent on-board, how are they suppose to "salt" the wrecks they find with quality replicas that bring crazy money when nicely packaged with a certificate of authenticity (made out of "REAL" <insert name of sunked ship here> silver!).

    Being out there on the SS Republic wrecksite would be pretty cool. Doubt they'd be impressed by the likes o' me, though.

    My real dream is to poke around in Europe, particularly the British Isles, one day.

    "Treasure Vision?"

    "Treasure Vision" = lame Garrett ad talk for the "imaging" feature on that model. Basically, it classifies target sizes in addition to probable identities. Which is quite useful, but as usual, they hype it to the moon.

    I had to look up the site you got that image from.

    Pretty neat coin jewelry.

    Oh. 'Scuze me- I mean "jewellery", as the Brits say.

    I was just being silly thinking Google Images would find anything searching on "drilling hole in a coin"
