Actually I have done some interesting things which include treasure hunting. It may be likely I am not a model citizen, or maybe not a citizen at all. I suppose you couldn't know about that because I have no interest or intent post my memoirs in a thread about the H3Tec or anywhere else in a technical forum for geotechnical methods of detecting things buried in the earth. I have not picked on your achievements. They simply seemed interesting when I found them interjected here as an off-topic diversion.
While I have no interest in publishing interesting things I have done, they seem dull compared to what you posted. Maybe this is because the things I do are not adventurous as what you did, or maybe because I haven't had 87 years to do as many interesting things you did. In any case, I must admit your autobiography seems interesting enough to cause a mistaken identity for the man in the Dos Equis commercials.
I wonder if there are any screen writers or movie producers who post in this forum that might be interested in making a series of movies along the lines of Indiana Jones, except using true stories that were posted by Don Jose de La Mancha?
Best wishes,
