Additional Comments: (Note: Do not mention your race, marital status, etc… Limit comments to digging, detecting, magnet fishing!):
I’m on the hunt for a like-minded relic hunting buddy to search and dig for old bottles. I got into the hobby at the start of 2025 and love exploring creek beds for hidden treasures—especially old bottles.
I’ve discovered a creekside spot with real potential and am happy to share it with a dedicated hunting partner. While I don’t metal detect or magnet fish (yet), I’m all about the thrill of discovery and always eager to learn.
