MEET THE RELIC HUNTERS

You can say Grant and James have “history.” What started as an after-school playdate in 5th grade grew into a best friendship that thrives some 40 years later. They used to bond over girls and sports. Now, both married with kids and each holding high-profile jobs (Grant with a national non-profit and James with a global publisher), they bond over a hobby about which they are equally passionate—historical metal detecting. Through this shared hobby, they endeavor to search for, find, and preserve history to keep the past present for future generations. It is a hobby that has taken them all over the U.S. and even to the U.K. Yet, no matter where they go, and no matter what they search for, they both know full well that their real treasure is at home.
