I have been metal detecting for nineteen years and decided to document my finds and their stories. All of the relics in the book have been found in Louisiana. These relics are a big part of Louisiana history. If you are interested in history or metal detecting, I think you will enjoy my book. You can purchase Metal Detecting Louisiana, my Stories on Amazon.com or contact me at: [email protected] .
