I have 3 bee hives! I love them, and their honey.

My grandfather kept bees. Always wanted to try it. Beeswax was our chewing gum as a kid.

I make live edge river tables and accessories. I also just made a fractal wood burning machine from an old microwave. That's been fun.

Yeah I'm going to need one of those tables...

Quilting was my #1 hobby prior to setting up my tank. I also have a 67 mustang and I love cranking on old cars. Love yoga my dog and cat. Love me some nascar and the CLE Indians. Hate the NE Ohio winters and go on a cruise to the Caribbean every year to get away and to do some Scuba diving. No kids and no husband so life is pretty simple.

When my daughter was born in the 80's, i needed a 'stay at home' hobby (a reef aquarium) and gave up my 'out door' hobby - searching for Civil War relics with a metal detector. I moved back to Georgia after 18 years in Hawaii, and got back into relic hunting. It's a hobby that potentially pays for itself (although I collect and don't sell) and it's good exercise for an old man. Bullets are the most common find, but uniform buttons, belt buckets, bayonets, artillery shells can be found with research and dedication. My favorite - uniform buttons. They're military in nature but also something a soldier touched every day. Many are beautiful works of art and often retain gold or silver plating. Here's a recent find - a button from a staff officer's uniform. This button dates from the Mexican War as the maker (Robinson Co. in Attelboro, Mass.) went out of business in 1848. I suspect the old uniform was worn by a Confederate officer as it was found just behind a rebel breastwork along with dropped (unfired) bullets.

Should be some Revolutionary War sites up your way. A friend of mine was invited to hunt a site in New Jersey where Civil War military items (buttons and buckles) were dumped. There were so many items that they didn't use detectors but instead used garden rakes to find the relics. You just never know what you'll find.

Yes theres alot of places by me. The big one is from the battle of Monmouth but it's an apple orchard now and private property.

Travelling. If not for work then pleasure. I have had the luxury of having gone to both Thailand and the Maldives to see their reefs.

If not travelling then mostly reefing, and working around the house.

Back when I lived in Southern Ohio we used to hunt Native American artifacts. Found a large nutting stone under an electric pole just by chance once. Ended up taking it to Antiques Roadshow when it came to CLE and they told me that it was older then Christopher Columbus' discovery of the "new world". Lots of flint and bits of pottery too. Lots of fun treasure hunting to be sure!
