Treasure Hunting with Metal Detectors

Join metal detecting expert Matt Howell, founder of Gone Diggin' and featured on the show Beyond Oak Island, for an introduction to this rewarding hobby. You'll learn how metal detectors actually work, discover what additional gear you might need, and understand the legal side of treasure hunting. Matt will also share some fascinating finds from his own adventures and give you the chance to try out metal detectors yourself. Plan to spend part of this program outdoors on the library grounds searching for hidden objects, so dress appropriately for the weather and whatever terrain you encounter. This is a great opportunity for adults and seniors curious about metal detecting to get hands-on experience and expert guidance. Registration is required, and spaces are limited to 45 participants. When you sign up, you'll receive an email with instructions for accessing the online event.
