Tim is a freelance observer from Brantford, Ontario. He quit his job on his 40th birthday and hasn’t really done much since. He likes to metal detect but truthfully, he doesn’t go out that often, if at all. I think he likes the IDEA of metal detecting more than actually going out and getting dirty and buggy and digging holes. One day he’ll get back in the habit and find his treasures.
