A quick BIO regarding Tom Dankowski:
Tom's first metal detector was from a Health Kit in 1971. That began a passion in metal detectors and detecting that continues this
day. Tom's use of, design and testing of various metal detectors has been instrumental in many of the detectors we have used
over the last decades and currently. Various manufactures worldwide have used Tom's knowledge and expertise to improve or
create their detectors.
Career highlights: many years in the US Navy as a nuclear sub engineer. Next was working for NASA, in various areas including
training the shuttle pilots to land the space shuttle. After NASA, Tom has stayed in aviation, training students to fly and upgrade
their skills and ratings. Today Tom is currently working with and for various manufactures in design, testing and more with metal

Our club is truly blessed to have Tom give a presentation in January.
See you there.
Your president, Frank Nash
