Michigan Magnet Man Finds Treasures In Bodies Of Water

We have all seen the people who are out on the beach, walking through parks, and surveying open fields/nature preserves with their metal detectors. At first glance, we often say that's a weird hobby to have but it can also be an extremely lucrative hobby as well. They often come across beautiful jewelry, cell phones, and other valuable metals and electronics. Some of these items are returned to their owners while others may be kept or sold for personal gain.

This Michigan man has taken the idea of buried or sunken treasure to a new level as he has foregone the methods of old and has found something that is also entertaining and lucrative. There are so many things that happen on the banks of rivers, the shores of lakes, and even out on boats where individuals are losing their valuables to the water, this man comes through with his tools and fishes them out, a lot of his work is done here in Michigan but he does move around the country.
