Justin Vesser

Justin

Name: Justin L. Vesser
AKA: VthePresident
State: Alabama
Years Hunting: 4
GNRS Detector: White’s DFX
Biography: I live in Birmingham, AL, but I am from East Tennessee and have family in Central Virginia, and I hunt in all three areas. I have searched civil war sites and old gold mining camps, but I am really looking forward to searching for older parts of American History. My favorite finds include a Southern Cross of Honor, which was awarded to Confederate Veterans, which I was able to return to the grandson of the soldier, and a silver pocket watch case with maker’s mark from 1794. This will be my first GNRS, and I can’t wait to see Team White’s win!

Reg Pitt

Reg Pitt

Hello, my name is Reg Pitt and I live in central Ohio. I’ve reactivated my metal detecting interest over the last 5 years or so, after a very long hiatus. I’m a retired history and psychology teacher and have a very lovely, understanding wife of 38 years who beach/surf detects in Venice, Fl. with her Whites Surf Pro I.  I also have 2 little grandsons, 1½ & 3, who are already brainwashed Buckeyes and, if I have anything to do with it, soon to be history buffs.

Detector: I used an MXT at the N/S in Va. and at the GRD in Conn.
This is my first GNRS and hopefully not my last. Good luck to everyone!

Name: Earl Meismer
AKA: ButtonEarl
State: Virginia
Years Hunting: 35
GNRS Detector(s): Blue & Grey/5900
Biography:

My dad Ted started taking me relic hunting when I was five. Back in those days, two or three guys would buy a detector and share it. One would use the machine and the other would dig. I have been digging relics pretty much all my life, mostly here in Orange Co. Virginia. My wife calls my machine “My Stick Woman” since I am out with it almost as much as her (maybe more!!). I look forward to helping Team Whites win this year but no matter who wins we will all have a great time!
