About the Author         

I've been metal detecting since 1973, and I was voted into the Treasure Hunters' Hall of Fame in 1999.  

I've written for several treasure magazines, and I've served as Associate Editor of Treasure Quest magazine.  

I retired in 2007 after 26 years as a college broadcast instructor and general manager of a college radio station.  

I'm a Purdue grad with a degree in Broadcasting.  I also hold a master's degree in technology, and an FCC First Class Radiotelephone Operator's License (well, held, since broadcast licenses are now obsolete).  

I'm a licensed ham radio operator (N9XDK), an old-time radio actor, an adult slowpitch softball fanatic, and a sixties music quasi-expert.  

Besides my treasure hunting book, I've written manuals on being a radio DJ, managing adult softball teams, setting up a web site for your old high school graduating class, purchasing web space and your own URL to set up your own ad-free web site at minimal cost.  (All at Dan Hughes Books)

I do free biweekly podcasts on treasure hunting and softball, and a weekly old-time radio show.  And I have a pretty spiffy personal website.

So why can't I keep any friends?  

Oops, sorry, wrong forum.
