Vaughan Garrett’s Favorite Finds

WHAT DO YOU DO?
Simply submit your favorite find photo and story. (Three ways: online form, via mail, or email).

WHEN DOES IT START?
This is a continually-running event, where entries are received from the first to the last day of each month. On or about the 15th day of the next month, Vaughan will announce his winners—selected from everyone who entered during the previous month.

WHO CAN ENTER?
Anyone and everyone is encouraged to submit a personal treasure hunting success story with Garrett Metal Detectors. Every time a personal treasure hunting story is submitted, I become excited for the treasure hunter who made it happen.

WHO WILL WIN?
Each month I will select one local (United States) and one International success story as my favorite submission. Each of these selected treasure hunters will receive one ACE Apex as my way of saying thanks to those persons who took the time to get out there, discover that treasure, and submit their story to Garrett. Each month my column will be presented on garrett.com, and on official Garrett social media apps, such as Facebook. Happy hunting and good fortune!

• Winners should expect their prize to ship within 30 days to allow time for verification.

HOW DO I DECIDE?
Each story has elements of excitement, expertise, effort, emotion, and sometimes just plain ol’ good fortune. Each month I will select MY favorite find, selected from the submit-a-story testimonials which are sent in by Garrett treasure hunters world-wide. My criteria will be based on what excites ME the most. It’s not always the rarest find or the most valuable that touches me. It may be a great find, a great story, a great photograph, a great history lesson, or maybe a great heart-felt emotion. If I don’t select your find one month, please don’t be discouraged. Submit a new story next month.
