WINNER #1
My United States Favorite Find for August 2020 is the set of 6 Civil War Wisconsin State Seal Buttons, found by Stefan W. from West Virginia with his AT Pro.
Stefan’s story: This was a great day! I was rather new to metal detecting about 6 months in. On my new permission, I was digging a lot of bullets in the front yard. There was a field that the landowner was renting out for livestock and didn’t want me to hunt in fear of the cattle breaking a leg. So I looked at this field every time I went digging and always said to myself, “Man I want to go over there so bad!" My intuition and persistence paid off, and finally I was able to get the chance.
I had lots of signals in a 20' x 20' area. Altogether I dug a bunch of bullets there, then started pulling out general service buttons. Then one of these Wisconsin buttons came out, then another, then another totaling six of them! I was so excited. This really was a find of a lifetime for me.
Big thanks to my friend that got me in this hobby. I remember telling him “I ain't going to find anything man” and was really not expecting to find anything like this! Big thanks to the people that let me on their land to dig. You just never know what the day will bring. Stay positive, do some research, and get digging. Big thanks to Garrett as well for making great metal detectors. I’ve tried other machines but I always go back to this one!!
Stefan W. WINS an ACE Apex Metal Detector. Congratulations!!!!
