In the beginning, humanity’s interest in the physical laws of the Universe set us on a course that would end in the development of that magic wand we all love, the metal detector!

Scuba Wize is a "one of a kind" bucket list adventure where we give people from all over the world the chance to learn about treasure hunting and treasure salvage from real successful treasure hunters including Capt. Carl Fismer "Fizz", Capt. Bradley Williamson, and Marc Littleton Divemaster. These adventures are in a classroom setting in the morning and in the afternoon. We also visit and dive on two 1733 Spanish Galleon sites in the gin-clear waters of the Florida Keys, weather permitting.

While in class we have a sharing time each day and after each of my metal detecting and scuba diving adventures I would always share my experiences and pictures with the class. They were always so excited when I told them about metal detecting and were always asking questions about it. They grew to love the hobby just by hearing it through me so I knew that we needed to have a fun day dedicated to metal detecting. It was the perfect opportunity to teach them about metal detecting and letting them experience it themselves.

A fresh, new beginning. That is what we are all hoping 2021 brings after the wild and crazy ride experienced in 2020.  When I learned of a large metal detecting event called Florida Hunt 7 being planned for February 2021 in Florida, I thought "what a perfect way to start the new year!"

In honor of April Fools, we thought we would play a light-hearted joke with the help of Gary Penta and convince our community that he had created the world's smallest Striker z60 Metal Detector. Although this is not the case, we hope you will take it lightly and if you're interested, check out our top-selling "regular" sized Striker z60 Metal Detector as well as Gary Penta's Dioramas.

Lost Treasure

It’s a well-known fact that print is in decline. However, despite this, a number of niche magazines have been able to hold on. Sadly, Lost Treasure magazine met its untimely end in December 2018, ending its over 50-year run covering treasure hunters past and present.

Lost Treasure first launched way back in 1966 and from there it came out monthly from its Grove, Oklahoman headquarters, far from the epicenter of publishing. One of its common features were reviews of metal detectors that modern-day prospectors might use in their quest for gold.
