Before I was introduced to advertising, I wanted to be a photojournalist. I still cherish my photography and everything I learned about concept and production. Below are just a few of my favorites—concert, street and photojournalism.

 

Trash to some. Treasure to me.

One of my favorite things to do is metal detecting. It’s taught me a lot of patience—like writing a good headline, you’ll dig 100 holes before you find anything good. From rare coins to lost jewelry, here are some of recent finds.

Two Indian Head pennies in the same hole! These were from 1901 and 1904. #metaldetectingusa #metaldetecting #metaldetectingohio #dirtfishing
Second class ring this year! What’s crazy is that I found it probably 20 feet from where I found my first one. Already returned it and everything! #metaldetecting #metaldetectingusa #metaldetectingohio #dirtfishing
Found my first Kennedy half!! It's just clad, so the fact that it's still shiny is a bonus! #metaldetecting #metaldetectingohio #metaldetectingusa #dirtfishing
Got a call yesterday to help someone find their gold ring. That counts right? Anyway, it’s always nice to see this hobby make someone’s day other than my own! #metaldetecting #metaldetectingohio #metaldetectingusa #dirtfishing
Been meaning to hit the park again and I’m glad I did today. 10k white gold ring with a heart-shaped garnet and diamonds. And it fits my wife’s hand—imagine that! #metaldetecting #metaldetectingohio #metaldetectingusa #dirtfishing

Returned to a permission today and found a whole mess of stuff! A silver ring, a Norma Shearer popsicle token from the 30s, and a super old copper coin that I’m having trouble IDing. If anyone recognizes it, let me know. The back is wiped clean
Been a while! Today I finally caught someone home at a 1857 house I’ve had my eyes on for a while. I only detected for half an hour before the heat got to me, but found two bucketlisters: the piece of cameo jewelry and my first ever civil war e
Hands down the creepiest find I’ve ever had. Found while detecting in the woods. Left it there, too. #metaldetecting #metaldetectingusa #metaldetectingohio #dirtfishing
Pokémon is a huge part of my childhood and something I still enjoy playing today. Never thought I’d see the day where my two passions collided. Found this 1999 Burger King “gold” Poliwhirl card at an 1890s home a few weeks ba
OWNER FOUND! Larry was wearing is then-girlfriend’s class ring while playing basketball in 1995ish. He took the ring off and put it on the blacktop while he played and forgot it. When he returned it was gone. It was the coolest experience ret
