Jimmy Harris: Unearthing the past, one find at a time
When Jimmy Harris of Council Grove lost his wife Yvonne in 2016, he found himself at a crossroads. For years, their shared pastime had been fishing together, casting lines and sharing quiet moments near Kansas waters. Her passing left a void that Harris knew he needed to fill. He wanted something that could occupy his hands and his heart, while still offering the sense of discovery and patience that fishing had always provided. What he found was treasure hunting—metal detecting— and over the last several years, it has become both a passion and a way of life.
