 Recollections of a Relic Hunter (Okinawa)  
                                      
   During my last deployment to Okinawa Japan, Saturday mornings were a very special time for me. Short years ago, I was
able to experience such enjoyable experiences with my comrades in Relic Hunting Dwayne and Major B as we travelled the
World War 2 Battlefields of Okinawa.
 
  I knew that I had to write down the feelings and stories of our adventures exploring such historic places as Wana Ridge,
 Kunishi Ridge and the final assault at Cape Kiyan.
 
  This E-book describes those adventures and includes many never before seen photographs I've collected over the years, 
I offer this to you to enjoy and learn about this small aspect of the War and Okinawa in particular.

 Metal Detecting Code of Ethics you should follow


No leaving of holes and trash you dug up behind.
Always ask permission to hunt private land.

Absolutely stay away from Tomb and Historical Areas! 
If you are asked to leave a place, just say, "Okay, sorry." and leave.
Avoid confrontation with the authorities.
Don't steal your friend's spots
Abide by all foreign, U.S. and local laws
Leave UXO and lethal ojects in place.  Mark if possible!
Use common sense and consideration for others when detecting.
Be responsible
Use thoughtfulness, consideration, and courtesy at all times.

Let somebody know where your going in case something happens.
