This month’s Favorite Find is the 1859-S Liberty Seated dime. Found in Holcomb Valley in Southern California, this silver dime has retained its luster and detail which reveal the unique strike weakness at the Liberty’s head. Expert analysis documents that 60,000 pieces were originally minted, yet only 41 examples of this coin are certified in population.

Congratulations to Steve S. with his GTI 2500 for discovering this rare American beauty in extremely fine condition.

In 1775 war broke out between the British and American Colonists known as the American Revolutionary War, and by 1783, the British recognized America's Independence. A 227 year old remnant of this war was discovered by Robert from New York in the form of an original American Revolutionary War buckle. Robert researched the encampment area and detected near an old tree now over 400 years old where the soldiers likely congregated. About five feet away from this tree his Ace 250 sung a new tune!

Congratulations to Robert S. for discovering a great historical find.

My favorite find this month is the mint condition Civil War belt buckle from the 1860s. This oval brass buckle has the letters “CS”, which stand for “Confederate States”, and is encircled by 11 stars which represent the eleven confederate states. It is believed that General Nathan Bedford Forrest had these buckles commissioned for his staff officers. Several square nails were also recovered in the same area, likely from wood supply boxes.

Congratulations to Al W. from Franklin, Tennessee for discovering such a tremendous piece of U.S. history with his Garrett detector.
