I started MILBEA back in 2023. I knew that i was never going to start a YouTube channel showcasing my thrilling finds of the occasional mercury dime, and a laundromat's worth of clad. I needed to find another way to meet and connect with others in the hobby, and  around the world. If i wasn't going to be the one finding large cents and hammered coins, i wanted to get to know the people that were.

My background is in Music and Action Sports, skateboarding, snowboarding, mountain biking. Working in shops, riding for companies and soon I was designing for brands and then running brands. I enjoy finding a brand that i connect with and wearing their stuff,  I miss that. I couldn't find that in metal detecting, all i could find were random Etsy tees with the silhouette of a guy detecting and the words "best beeping dad" or "Let's get hammered". I wanted a brand that spoke "this is metal detecting".

So this is it. This is the brand i've been looking for. It's fun, it's legit, it's trying to capture that feeling you get when you see something shiny in the hole. It is a brand made for all of us that get it. We're different, we're treasure hunters, we're historians, we're detectorists.
