Western & Eastern Treasures 1966-2022

[Jim McCulloch]

I was just informed that "Western & Eastern Treasures" magazine has ceased operations, primarily due to competition from YouTube channels. My last article therein was my Field Test of the White's Goldmaster 24K, which appeared in the October 2018 issue. Bummer.

   I haven’t found their magazine in a book store in a long time. The last word I got that they were going digital and stop the newsstand addition all together .

The worst part is they took down the archives, too.

Agree.  I wish metal detectors used something other than technology.

Archives are still there.

They still have the old reliable and it looks like a twig with a fork in it. Uses zero batteries and unless you beat your child with it can last many years without problems.

I had the privilege of writing for Western and Eastern Treasures for the past two decades.  Like most writers for the magazine, I started as a freelancer.  Rosemary Anderson liked my writing and moved me up to the title of Contributing Editor and I wrote articles and handled most of their product reports and field tests for the last several years.  That's me on the far left of the December 2022 cover, the last issue that they published.

Steve, Rosemary and Logan Anderson always treated me like gold, quite befitting a treasure hunting magazine.  They tried their best to keep the magazine going and I will miss not only writing for them but reading the magazine.  For me, a magazine was a much more comfortable medium to read about our hobby as opposed to the endless number of YouTube channels that we are inundated with.
