Are you a fan of metal detecting? Spend hours on end skimming your detector across the soils of our county? Join us 6 PM Wednesday May 14,2025 at the County Library for an insightful discussion with Jerry Culver and hear about some of the discoveries he’s made on and under the soil for the last 60 years!
At age twenty-seven, Jerry Culver bought his first metal detector. He taught himself to use it to find jewelry and coins on the Monterey Peninsula beaches. Upon moving to Sacramento he began hunting for coins and relics in the Mother Lode. Jerry has become a legend among his peers.
People who are serious about relic hunting with a metal detector generally know what they are looking for and where to find it. They unearth more than just jewelry, coins, and relics. They pick up history as they go– the earth becomes their time capsule. Frequently, Jerry researches the artifacts he finds and donates them to the property owners and museums. A meticulous record keeper, Jerry documents and photographs every find. He has amassed twenty-five photo albums throughout his fifty-plus photo albums throughout his fifty-plus years of detecting.
