MEMORABLE
TRIPS
I
was fortunate enough to have gone on a treasure-hunting trip
in 1980 to the Island of Montserrat. Steve Auerback of"Kellyco
Detectors" organized the trip. Besides myself, there were
30 other members from different walks oflife. There was a lawyer,
a doctor, policeman, diplomat and a businessman and numerous other
professions. We found hundred of old artifacts including a canon
and musket balls. Your truly found a moulded one-piece glass bottle,
dating to 1700, which I was informed was very valuable. I donated
my find to the National Trust of Montserrat, which was the National
Museum set up by the resident archaeologist. Most items found were
donated to this museum. It was the experience of a lifetime. As
you will remember, the island of Montserrat was ripped apart by
volcanic activity making it Inhabitable. The camaraderie of the
participants on this adventure made it an occasion I will never
forget.
