Steven Lyon's Bio

Very experienced detector with over 34 years of experience. I have recovered more than 400+ rings. I have worked very closely with the local schools, education departments and libraries on giving presentations on treasure hunting. I have also started a successfully large metal detecting club called “Digitalltreasures” with monthly meetings to get people active and excited about the hobby. Teaching proper ethics and digging and recovery practices. I am also a metal detecting dealer for several brands of detectors and treasure hunting equipment. I have won the dealer of the year award for several years in a row. I have a strong passion for this hobby and enjoy seeing people reactions on finding their most precious belongings.
