Relic hunters are a different breed.
Unlike coinshooters and beach hunters, they are seeking history rather than money. True, many relics - especially Civil War items - are worth big bucks, but many relic hunters are more interested in finding clues as to what happened where and when.
And they hunt in more isolated places than those of us who frequent the parks and schoolyards. They even face dangers that we coinshooters cannot imagine.
In this podcast (radio show you can listen to on your computer any time), I offer some tips - and some warnings - to the beginning relic hunter.
