It’s a retirement hobby and good exercise for Larry Snow, hunting treasure with his metal detector. Thursday afternoon he was at Riverside Park hunting on a sunny but cool windy day without much success. He hunts on playgrounds, parks, on beaches and even underwater. He has found a ring or two but mostly coins in the 15 years he has been hunting. And what other hobby pays off? Larry has recovered more than the $700 cost of the detector. (Photo by Virgil Shipley)
