David Villanueva was born in Birmingham, England, where he grew up. In the early 1970s his mother bought him a copy of Ted Fletcher's book A Fortune Under Your Feet, which, together with David's great interest in history inspired him to buy a metal detector and take up treasure hunting as a hobby. David's love of history and research developed into great success both in metal detecting and family history research. A little later David felt the urge to put pen to paper and been writing books on metal detecting since.
