IN THE NEWS

Scott Brown has been recognized in numerous publications for his expertise in metal detecting. He also serves on the board of the Chippewa/Rogues Hollow Historical Society and is an active member of the North Canton Heritage Society.

“Brown, a retired Wayne County math teacher, searches for buried history. He's found everything from coins, keys and jewelry to hem weights once used on women's dresses. Unlike many treasure hunters, Brown gives the property owners first dibs to keep everything he unearths. It's an added bonus, if he finds an item that was lost.”
