Who: Ken King and Jeff Lubbert with the Historical Artifact Recovery Team (H.A.R.T.)

Our featured speakers will be Ken King and Jeff Lubbert with the Historical Artifact Recovery Team (H.A.R.T.), a volunteer-based organization “…dedicated to preserving history through artifact recovery.” Their program will explore H.A.R.T.’s role in in preserving Colorado’s historic heritage resources through its collaboration with museums, historical societies, landowners and cultural resource professionals. Jeff and Ken will discuss past projects and the methods and practices H.A.R.T. employs on its projects.

Jeff has been metal detecting since 1980 and is co-founder of H.A.R.T. as well as a member the Eureka Treasure Hunters Club. He currently is co-host of the Relic Roundup podcast and works with Big Blue Wreck Salvage, which has salvage rights to the 1715 treasure fleet off the Florida coast.

Ken has been metal detecting for nearly 10 years, and the highpoint for him in metal detecting is when he can associate a found artifact with a specific person or event in history. He is a team leader with H.A.R.T. and has participated in many projects in Colorado. He is the host for the podcast Relics Radio.
