“I love Gone Diggin' Events!!”

Matt and his crew secure hundreds of acres for us to hunt. And they make sure we’re comfortable, providing food at the headquarters tent, bringing water to us in the fields, and—ahem—transporting us back to the portapotties by ATV when nature calls and we’re a half mile away.

About The Founder

Hey, I'm Matt Howell

I didn’t start Gone Diggin’ as a business — I started it with curiosity, a detector, and the question: What’s still waiting to be found?

I spent long days in the field, digging signals that didn’t always turn into finds, but every hunt taught me something — about the land, the history beneath it, and the patience the hunt demands.

Over time, I realized the most valuable part wasn’t the finds themselves, but the lessons learned and the stories shared along the way. I created Gone Diggin’ to bring all of that together — a place for beginners and seasoned hunters alike to share knowledge, celebrate discoveries, and connect with a community that understands why we keep digging.
