Craig W. Durst, the History Hunter of the Rancho Tujunga brings his many tales of discovery to the San Fernando Valley Historical Society. Most history hunts come to an end with nothing to show, but rarely, on special occasions, historic treasures reveal themselves. Come hear the stories of history hunts that ended with the uncovering of several interesting artifacts from the past. See these discoveries for yourself and learn of the famous characters that are associated with these finds.
