My name is Ace or as some of you may know me on social media, Swing4TheRing. Let me personally welcome you to Metal Detecting Life, a blog where I aim to help both the would-be pirate and everyday treasure hunter so that no matter what category you fall under, I’ll be able to answer your questions as well as help expand your metal detecting arsenal so that you can get more enjoyment and better finds out of this wonderful hobby.
With over 18 years of metal detecting experience, I’ve used a wide variety of equipment, studied different research methods, found success (and failure) through trial and error, hunted different locations both locally and internationally, and have had the pleasure to hunt with many other talented detectorists. Life is a treasure hunt, so go out there and Swing4TheRing!
