I have been hunting treasures since I can remember as a small child. Raised on large ranches I had access to a lot of areas, which were mined for gold and other minerals. I was able to hunt for artifacts from various bands of native tribes and much still sits in museums in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Also spent years hunting with Harley Garbani, one of the premier Paleontology field men. Harley was an avid artifact hunter as well as dinosaur bones. This gave me quite an understanding of the geology layers and what to look for in surface applications. In later years I developed a taste for metal detecting and found the adventure in hunting cans, bottles, rings and whatever else I could dig up on beaches and in the deserts of the Southwest.

In 2001, a chance meeting with Larry Sloan, brought a whole new meaning into my realm of treasure hunting. METEORITES. This would start me in another new hobby. The exciting world of space rock hunting! Thanks to Larry I have been able to personally find over 175 meteorites in the Franconia & Gold Basin strewn fields with several different types or field classifications.

Myke Ray a good friend & fellow television producer, wanted to produce a DVD to highlight meteorite hunting and the professional hunters in the sport. In Jan 2007 the DVD was finished. It was our intention to highlight the hobby for people just beginning to hunt & detect.
