WINNER #1
My favorite find for January 2013 is the 1792 Silver Spanish Real Coin. Christopher E. from Providence, Rhode Island was searching with his brother in New England where a colonial house once stood. Christopher had been told that the site had been previously hunted out, but that didn't stop his desire to check it out with his new Garrett AT Pro. Christopher elaborates, "When deciding what machine to buy for my first detector I tested many machines from various manufacturers. I can say in all honesty the Garrett AT Pro is a very simple to use and is extremely effective."
Christopher shares his discovery. "I heard the slightest ping from the detector and swung over it again and got closer to the ground until I got a nice high ping. I started digging and popped the plug out and checked the hole with the detector. Nothing was ringing on the AT Pro whatsoever. I turned to check the plug and saw a shining silver Spanish Real coin staring me in the face. I am perplexed at how such an old coin could be in such beautiful shape! I carefully pulled it out of the plug. My heart was racing and I was speechless. The date read 1792!"
Christopher shares personal thoughts. "My brother asked what is it worth? To me, the value is in the finding of it, the story that I will tell the rest of my life. That coin physically represents history and that is as close as I will ever get to life in the 1700's. Now that is what I call cool. Without the AT Pro, I may have never found my greatest find, and for that I am truly grateful."
Thank you Christopher for sharing your wonderful experience with Garrett.
