Super Painter Spotlight: Bill and Billie

Posted by Kevin on June 2nd, 2008 comments No Comments

When superfan Bill Reynolds was a kid, he loved to get dirt under his fingernails scampering up the tallest trees and hunting for the most awesome rocks. Some things never change. Decades later Bill, a Chemical Engineer for a mining company, skips the tree-climbing but still goes out digging up dirt to unearth real gems. His life is dedicated to his passion: he speaks to the local Boy Scout troops about geology; writes for treasure hunting and geology magazines; and, with his wife, turns his finds into gorgeous jewelry.

His attraction to the Travel Channel’s Cash and Treasure Wiki. was natural for Bill. It was another extension of his passion for geology where he could share his love for finding gems, minerals, and fossils with other enthusiasts. Bill quickly became recognized as a Super User within the community. Just last week he was out in Alabama searching for the perfectagate to win the contest on the wiki!

We here at Wetpaint wish Bill the best of luck in all his treasure hunting trips, even though he’s quick to say he’s already found the best treasure on Earth– his wife, Billie Reynolds.
