Stop the presses! Metal detecting has gone Hollywood. If you’ve ever wanted to see a metal detector larger-than-life, this could be your chance. King of California stars Michael Douglas as a fresh-out-of-the-mental institution father, and Evan Rachel Wood as his emancipated teenage daughter, as they venture together on a quest for an ancient Spanish treasure buried beneath their local Costco in this “darkly funny, exciting and surprisingly hopeful take on the modern family and the American dream,” says an anonymous commenter on IMDB.
The movie was released in the US on September 14th 2007, and is playing in a limited number of theaters. The reviews for this film are mixed, but generally favorable, even being called a good sequel of sorts to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Here’s the trailer for the movie:

I know, the title isn’t that clever, but I just found another blog done by a metal detector named Gus, out of Texas. Gus spends his weekends searching for treasure around a lake with his Ace250, and posts his findings on his blog with pictures and comments. Down by the Lake is the name of the site, and it’s so interesting to follow Gus and his findings. Read through a few weeks of posts, and you’ll start to feel like you know him, and you’ll find yourself rooting Gus on for the next weekend.
