“The material which you have collected over the years is quite intriguing and reveal some interesting things about Delaware history.”
--Ronald A. Thomas, former State of Delaware Archaeologist, Newark, Del.

“Okonowicz clearly explains his methods and tools and made his subject matter fascinating. Both children and adults were thrilled with the treasure he has found and the places he has visited. We would love to see him again.”
--Karen Quinn, librarian, Corbit-Calloway Memorial Library, Odessa, Del.

“Archaeological history is all around us, yet we don’t often see it because we don’t have an orientation to the past that is underfoot. In his lively and informative programs on treasure hinting, Eddie Okonowicz provides an excellent primer on methods of discovering this world.”
--Michael Dixon, M.S., president, Historic Elk Landing Foundation, Elkton, Md.
