Welcome to the Virtual Holt Museum
To any Museum or University
Rather than see my collection of artifacts that I've gathered over the years
since I was about 10 years old end up in a landfill after my death, I wish to donate them to any entity who will take them. As of right now, those artifacts shown in the photo's below have all been placed in wooden crates. So if anyone is interested, just email me and put in the
subject field: Rescue My collections.
I started collecting things before I was 10 years old, I remember years ago when my parents stopped at a gas station out west somewhere and my Dad was shown by an older couple their metal detecting proceeds from Lincoln Park in Chicago, I remember seeing those two buckets full of dirty coins and the Whites Coinmaster metal detectors that they had. Unknown to me at the time I had the "BUG", my Dad was first to get a metal detector and I wouldn't let up until he got one for me, a Bounty Hunter TR500. That first year was incredible, I had a hobby that kept me out of trouble and a hobby that would last until my mid 30's when disability took it away. Everything shown here in this Virtual Holt Museum I have dug up, all over the United States. By 1979, when my parents bought land north of Orlando, Florida, I happened to get lucky and live in the remains of a forgotten ghosttown called Ridgewood that was consumed in a forest fire during the 1920's as it was reported to me.
In 1989 I moved back to this land, put up a mobile home built a shed and barn. By 1992 I married and converted that shed into a museum which it remained for 25 years until I was too old and the building too old, so with the help of our daughter, we packed it up in large crates where it remains to this day, waiting for any museum or university to take them.
