I found this photo from the Journal Times and laughed a bit at the attire this fellow hobbyist is wearing while he scours for treasure. It's never crossed my mind to wear a pea-coat, slacks and dress shoes out to a hunt.
"George Edgar puffs on a pipe as he searches for treasures with his metal detector in the 2600 block of Washington Ave., near Grange and Wright avenues, Wednesday April 6, 2011. Edgar uses a trowel to dig into the ground after getting a signal. He replaces any turf he digs up. In this instance, all he found was a rusty nail. However, Edgar, who lives in Kenosha, once found a coin from the 1870s in the same area which is why he likes to search in the park. He says that the most interesting artifact he ever found was a Civil War soldier's identity disc."
