Fellow detectorists, I hope some of you can provide me with some assistance. I have been given an opportunity to set up and then teach a university course on metal detecting/treasure hunting. I have been metal detecting for about 20 years and feel comfortable that I have the experience and background to do this, but I also fully realize and appreciate the depth of knowledge and wisdom represented by many of the folks on this forum and I would very much love to capitalize on this. The program I will be developing this course for is the Lifelong Learning program that tailors educational courses for seniors and people well in to careers that are looking for educational outlets that are new, refreshing or just interesting. This is a great opportunity to elevate our hobby and I want to put my "best foot forward".
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and please send me any written materials you have that you think would be useful. The course will be an entry level/beginners course and it will start early Spring 2011. If it is well received there may be an opportunity to build both an intermediate and advanced level course, but for now we will be focused on the basics. This course will be the first of its kind in my region, I am very excited at the opportunity. Of course if you have any questions I will be glad for them as well.
