Mark Flaherty's Bio

I am a Union Carpenter and spend my free time in the outdoors. I like to detect on a private farm which dates back to the 1700s and also in local parks. I enjoy doing research to find old buildings on public land where I can search. I have made a donation of a find to the Delaware County Institute of Science for their glass bottle display which was a porcelain cap from the early 1900s. Other finds have included mercury dimes and Buffalo nickels. I have been detecting approx two years with a Minelab Xterra Pro.
