Kit Truong had his 4 acres for sale on eBay.com.  Kit bought 4 acres that are adjacent  to the historic Kensington RuneStone homestead of Olaf!

I contacted him last year and we met up to go to this property and survey the land and put a metal detecting recovery plan together. Kit’s property is all wooded, the site has some logistical issues such as massive amounts of Poison Ivy.  The humidity and mosquitoes did not help our hunt today either! But, we had fun searching this historic land for Grizzly Relic and Treasure.

Today was more of a reconnaissance mission to learn the lay of the land and put a more feasible and systematic strategy for a much more in depth search that we are planning for later this Fall.

Will we find the Norseman and Goth relic?  Or will the Knights Templar reveal their secrets under our coil?  Perhaps the evidence of Native and fur traders will be uncovered.  I am hoping for evidence of a major KGC (Knights of the Golden Circle) and Jesse James connection can be found under the tree cover.  We will never know until the land has been systematically searched with my trusty scrimshawed  Minelab e-trac has been swung over every square inch of this property.

I have a video of myself and Kit the land owner introducing the property and our quest for Grizzly Relic and Treasure that I will be posting later this week.  Kit and I also ventured into the storied town of Kensington and interviewed the local historian and expert that has founded a Kensington Runestone Historical Society and has some very interesting finds in his museum including two great axe, possibly battle axe heads in his collection that I need your expertise in identifying.  I will also put up that video and video of the two axe heads that I need your help and expertise narrowing down the possibilities of who may have been their makers and the practical use of both of them.

Kit has graciously allowed me to hunt one of the most historic locations in Minnesota if not this entire North American Continent.  I will be bringing you updates on this quest in future.  Kit does have the land for sale and if you are interested in stepping up to own this historic property yourself, please contact me and I will pass on your contact information to Kit with your offer. Editor@temerityMagazine.com

You can join Kit and myself in this quest with your comment here and on Youtube.com/user/GrizzlyGroundswell  Together, we will tell the story, speculate on the findings and share the various theories that may or may not pan out with our finds.

After all, it is the Grizzly Relic and Treasure that tells the story, I just publish what stories I find beneath my coil.

I sent out a crazy offer to my Temerity Magazine Authors for the August issue. I told them that if they purchased a hosting account and a domain, I would get Their Sites Grizzly!

This is what they received:

• My 7 years of award winning blogging expertise to draw on.
• All my plugins that I use on my WordPress sites!
• I set up their hosting accounts
• Installed their WordPress blogs
• Scoured the settings for the blog site, plugins and themes setting them as I would set them for their blog they envision.
• Threw up a background and created a header for them to start with.  (They have since created their own!  Totally Grizzly!)
• I added a online shop to www.nqexplorers.com/shop so Colleen can sell her Metal Detecting clothing she creates online!  I already know who I am buying my next hunting vest from!
• I also set both sites up so that their YouTube Videos will automatically publish on their blogs and after one small step, they can import all their comments on their videos directly from YouTube!  What a great option!  This alone is worth the money!
• Then made myself available through email to encourage them and answer any questions they may have.

Here is the Results:

VCStar5's Blog www.uncoveredtreasure.com

I got them up and Grizzly but each had to have the Temerity to step forward and purchase their Hosting account and domain name at TemerityDomains.com !  They really are doing a great job and the sky is the limit for each of them!

The great thing about helping others get Grizzly online is that I learn things as well!  VCStar5, Virginia asked me how to get a contact button on the front of her blog so people could email her?  I directed her to wordpress.org and both of us started looking.  It never occcured to me that it was missing.  Well, Virginia found it and now both of us have a contact link on our sidebar!

I was setting up NQExplorers.com and really liked how the theme was working, so I switched this blog!

Virginia of UncoveredTreasure.com asked me how to insert a gallery.  I told her and did not think much about it, until I seen what she did with it!  UncoveredTreasure.com/gallery check it out!  Virginia is brilliant!  She now has a gallery of all her metal detecting finds!  She so inspired me, after TemerityMagazine.com is out August 3rd, I will be making my own Gallery of Metal Detecting finds and Grizzly Garage Sale Picks!  Totally Brilliant!

I have had a blast and now I am ready for you to step forward in Temerity and let me give you a hand up so you can hit the road running….Grizzly!

Michelle took this picture of a frog stow-a-way on our Jeep that we noticed after parking at Merlin’s Restaurant here in Princeton, MN.  On this Hot day, this frog was along for the ride into town.

Life sometimes seems that way.  Lately things have been coming together even though it seems that other things are dragging on and on.

One great thing that is happening is that people are finding www.TemerityDomains.com finally!  For all the Temerity Magazine authors I offered a deal.  If they bought a hosting account and their own domain, I would set up the hosting account for them and also a wordpress blog where their YouTube videos could be set up to automatically upload to their blog as well as the comments from their videos.  Yes, even the youtube comments could be imported to their wordpress blog!

VCStar and NQExplorers have taken me up on my offer!  VCStar5′s blog is www.UncoveredTreasure.com this is up and all set up!  NQExplorers www.nqexplorers.com is coming hopefully tonight or tomorrow depending on the dns.  With NQExplorers.com I am also installing the online shop plugin that will allow Colleen to sell her clothing line!  Look for some great metal detecting gear coming soon!

I am going to offer this deal to all www.grizzlygroundswell.com readers and www.TemerityMagazine.com readers as well.  If you buy the hosting and domain through www.temeritydomains.com I will set it up for you as a courtesy for chossing Temerity Domains!

Just email me at editor@TemerityMagazine.com and I can put you in the queue!

Truly a deal that can not be beat!  I am giving you what has taken me 7 years to learn and put together in a WordPress blog in one to two days!

Get Grizzly!

Yulelah is one of the most popular metal Detectorists on YouTube today.  Unfortunately, due to his health and the recent loss of his job, he is in much need of our prayer.  I talked with Yulelah tonight and he finds himself in a red tape nightmare dealing with his VA health benefits and a really serious medical condition he needs assistance with right away.

Times are really tough for everyone, but when a great friend falls on harder times, you want to be able to lift them up in prayer and charity.  If you have been graced with the means for charity, my friend Yulelah could really use it today.

Visit his YouTube Channel and let him know you are holding him up in prayer or if you have the means contact him and gift him with the great gift of charity.

I think Yulelah may get a bit mad at me for getting the call out for prayer and charity, but I know this big old boy will forgive me.  He is a proud man, but when you know a proud man is in need, you just have to get the word out.

I thank you for assisting me in holding up our brother.

If your on Twitter, give Yulelah a Tweet of Prayer to let him know he is loved and upheld in Christ.

God Bless

I really have been having fun getting my Grizzly Garage Sale finds up on Buffalo Nickel Classified site!  Now you can purchase all these Grizzly Treasure and Relic that I have been collecting for many years!  You may see a video of my finds then you can actually go and purchase those great pieces you are interested in at Buffalo Nickel Classified!

Recently I was able to find a home for the great Pearl Bethel Vintage Spear Fishing decoy and Spear!  Tim from fishdecoy.net purchased them and if your interested he will have it on his site for sale!

Please Check out Buffalo Nickel Classified and let me know what you think!  When you get there, hit “Shop” and it will take you to all the items I have uploaded thus far!  Items added daily!  It takes a ton of time to research and get all my items up there for sale!

Well, my first attempt at metal detecting in water was a success although I did not find the old coins I was hoping to find. I hunted the shoreline of where I found that great 1917 Silver Mercury Dime last Fall. I had been wanting to get this hunt under my belt and I did that yesterday. Despite finding and removing a bunch of trash including a crack pipe, it was uneventful yet a load of fun. I met some great people enjoying Little Elk Lake and that was reward enough.

Well it got hot and since I am recovering from a hell of a Summer Funk cold/flu/scourge I was beat and called it a day about 11am after hunting since 8:30am. Heading home, I saw a garage sale sign so with $60 in my pocket I thought I would try to find the relic and treasure there for the day. I did! I was late to the party, but there was some great deals!

I picked up this great spear fishing decoy made by Pearl Bethel from Park Rapids, MN. He was one of the greats in making these decoys and if you follow this link you can learn more about Pearl and collecting Fishing Decoys as well!  Here is a great online catalog of spear fishing decoys.

I also picked up three antique fish spears all of different era’s and design.

I picked up the Pearl Bethel Spear fishing decoy for $5, and each spear was marked $5.  So for my Grizzly $20, I am looking at a really nice ROI!

All these items are for sale as I have already shopped them around at www.fishdecoy.com and I will be sending an email to www.Fishdecoys.com as well.  But if you would like a shot at purchasing any of these items please email me at editor@TemerityMagazine.com

All sales will go through my paypal GrizzlyGroundswell@yahoo.com account and the highest offer with cash in my paypal account wins these great items.

If in the next few days a sale is not reached they will go up on ebay.com, craigslist.org and my new sales site www.buffalonickelclassified.com.

You know some pick finds are harder to sell than others.  Here are three really authentic Minnesotan spear fishing spears that each has its own charm and I would love to hear the stories they have to tell.

Then, I could not believe my luck to find a very rare Pearl Bethel spear fishing decoy!  Hard to sell, but that is the business I am in.  I want these to go to a true collector that will cherish and display these items like the works of art they are.

I have been sidelined with the Summer Funk here for a couple weeks.  A nasty cold/Flu/scourge upon this old body.  It has killed me not to be out metal detecting but hopefully that ends tomorrow.  I will try to get another great video uploaded for you and take you someplace a little different!

Get Grizzly!
