Audra Thomas, known as The Jersey History Hunter, has transformed her lifelong hobby of metal detecting into a passionate pursuit centered on preserving historical artifacts. Operating primarily in central New Jersey, she documents her adventures on her YouTube channel to engage and excite others about the pastime. Additionally, she educates local youth, exemplified by her recent workshop for a Girl Scout troop. Audra’s participation in events like 'Come out Swinging' supports local historical societies while allowing her to connect with fellow enthusiasts and share the joy of discovering history together.
The main goal of The Jersey History Hunter is the preservation of artifacts that tell the story of our past.
The joy of never knowing what you might dig up is what drives her every day.
She most recently started running a workshop where she instructs a local Girl Scout troop on how to metal detect.
The people she has met over the years is her favorite part, and sharing in the excitement of a find is priceless.
