Congratulations to our US Favorite Finds winner Chris F. from Georgia!
A 10-year-old girl named Gabbie F. was on a camping trip with her family on Yonah Mountain when she noticed she lost both of her expensive cochlear implants. After searching desperately, they decided to post on the local metal detecting group page for help. With the help of Chris F. and his Garrett Infinium LS, he was able to locate the cochlear implants and return them to the child.
Thank you for your kind act of service, Chris!

WINNER #1
Congratulations to our September U.S. Favorite Finds winner Noah F. from Pennsylvania!
Noah’s dad lost his wedding band 11 years ago in their backyard. He shared, “My dad and I visited that spot almost every year and tried to find the ring, but we never could. I had saved enough money to purchase a Garrett AT Max, and learned how to use it rather quickly and with ease. I changed the tone on the AT Max so we could only hear signals between 45 and 70. After around thirty minutes of pulling a few pop tabs and my dad reenacting what happened, we found the ring!
“The AT Max gave us a good idea that the pop tabs were signals around 60 and we found the ring with a solid 51-52 signal.
“When we found the ring, my dad screamed with joy and hugged me so tight that I could not breath! My mom is really happy too because my mom and dad had matching wedding rings.”

Congratulations to our U.S. Favorite Finds winner John O. from Minnesota!
When John was out Magnet fishing, he was approached by a couple who had lost their Rolex watch in the water a few years back. The watch was a wedding gift from 44 years ago! John grabbed his AT Max and started searching.
After searching for an hour he found the watch! He said, “She immediately started shaking and crying. She had to sit down for a minute... It was one of those emotional moments that only happen once in a while.”
Great work, John!

WINNER #1
Vaughan Garrett’s Favorite Find of the Month is Thoren P. from Maine!
Success Story: “It was a beautiful day on the historic oceanside in Maine, but what I unearthed may have even taken the cake on the prettiest thing I laid my eyes on! My friends and I ventured down to an old permission we rounded up last fall. We’ve found numerous coins and buttons there, so decided it’d be a good chance to break into 2022.
“Early that morning we found a few cool finds, but then my AT Max and I took the lead and ended up stumbling onto a sweet 88-90 signal. I sunk my shovel into the soil and cut a nice deep plug. To my surprise, the pinpointer didn’t quite have it in range yet, so I cut another few inches down, and out popped this beautiful 62 regiment British belt plate! Awesome way to start off the year and a memory I will cherish forever!”

Congratulations to our second U.S. winner Nicole B. for Vaughan’s favorite find of the month.
Success Story: “I was detecting in my Ohio farm field and came across a New York Militia button from the early 1800s (approx. 1800- 1830). After some research, I discovered that a band of troops had moved through my area during the War of 1812 headed for Detroit, MI. Such a cool piece of history.”

WINNER #1
My U.S. Favorite Find for March 2022 is the set of WWI Military Buttons, discovered by Shannon C. from Indiana with her AT Max.
While detecting using my AT Max on a local farm permission I decided to check out a new area. After about an hour or so I uncovered my very first WWI military button! Soon after this one, I uncovered a second one... then a third. In the end I found 10 of these buttons! Eight of them still have the backs and shanks attached, while two have only the fronts left. I could not believe what I had uncovered. I shared my find with a good friend who went on to investigate their origin some more, and after some internet investigation she found the soldier we believe the buttons belonged to. I plan to keep this private out of respect for the farming family but do plan to share my information with them as it was one of their family members.

WINNER #1
My United States Favorite Find for January 2022 is the C.S.A. Confederate States of America Sword Belt Buckle, discovered by Eric F. from Georgia with his AT Max.
Eric’s success story: Gained a permission to metal detect a pre-civil war homesite. On a beautiful Sunday I was finding a few targets but no civil war items. While I was in the front yard on the northside of the house I got a mid 80 signal. Proceeded to dig a deep plug, checked the hole with the Garrett Pro-Pointer and no target found. Checked the plug and got a signal, opened the plug with my 2 hands and out dropped the buckle face down in the hole. I saw the back side with the 3-prongs and my heart skipped and quickly picked up the buckle and put it in my left shirt pocket. My heart and mind was racing with excitement but I held my excitement until I got back to truck. Once at my truck I was able to see the C.S.A. I felt so humbled and honored to find this relic.
