WINNER #1
This 1782 Spanish Reale coin is a real beauty. Sean M. from Middletown, DE, searched the site of an old amusement park. His AT Pro rang a solid 77-78 at 4 to 6 inches down and he thought it might be an Indian Head penny. Sean wrote, “When I got the coin out I didn’t know what is was. Further examination I saw it was a 1782 Spanish 1 Reale in excellent shape! Probably my find of a lifetime.”

WINNER #2
This rare 1734 GEORGIVS II REX coin is a winner. With the help of his two sons, Ty (3) and Anthony Jr. (12), Anthony M. from Somerset, N.J. has the family hooked on treasure hunting. In fact, Ty is called the “Treasure Hunter” because on a few occasions he honed-in on good treasures before digging. Anthony wrote, “Ty kept running around the yard looking so puzzled until he suddenly stopped and yelled “Here, Dad, Here!” With dad checking the spot with his Ace 350, there sure enough was a beep. Anthony Jr. dug and to their amazement they recovered an old coin. They all ran inside, and upon cleaning it Anthony exclaimed, “Holy cow this is from the 1700’s!” It turned out to be a GEORGIVS II REX from 1734. Anthony and his sons are very excited about this rare find and have now discovered a family hobby that will last for generations.
