My second U.S. favorite find is the 1652 Pine Tree Shilling, found by Craig A. from Connecticut with his AT Pro.
Craig’s Story (edited): “This is truly a story of dumb luck and right place / right time. A couple of nights ago after dinner I decided to kill a couple of hours at a local property I have permission to hunt. At one time the land was a farm and before that part of the forest. I knew that at one point there were many parties held on the property so I hoped for some early to mid century silver and perhaps some lost jewelry. After a couple of clad coins the AT Pro hit a bouncing signal I have rarely seen. 81 right to 88 and back again. After a few passes it settled in like a quarter… high 80’s but still chirpy at 8 inches. I cut the plug, pulled it out and searched with the pin pointer. Hit the signal with the pinpointer on a sidewall. In went the Leche careful to get behind whatever was in the wall, and this beauty popped out! Could not believe my eyes. It’s been only two days since the find, and to tell the truth I’m really still a bit numb and not sure what to do next! Thanks for a wonderful machine!”

My third U.S. favorite find is the Revolutionary War Prince of Wales Pin, found by Bradley M. from Rhode Island with his AT Pro.
“Hello, my name is Bradley. I havent been having much luck lately. I went out on a detecting adventure in Bristol Rhode Island and then finally luck hit me. I found what I believe to be my best find yet!! A revolutionary era PRINCE OF WALES pin! Not sure if it is from a uniform or horse saddle. But it is so amazing and this really charged my batteries. It’s things like this that keep me hooked. I have had my AT Pro for 6 years and I absolutely love it as much as I did on day one. I have a new addition to my family on the way! A baby boy who one day will be using this machine or one of his own if I cant give this one up. Thanks so much!"

WINNER #4
My fourth U.S. favorite find is the Pre-1937 Eagle Scout 14k White Gold Ring, found by Brandon D. from Illinois, with his AT Pro.
Brandon’s Story: “While detecting at my favorite park I got a bouncy 66-72 signal 6 inches deep. Assuming the usual pull tab I kneeled down and cut my plug, rolled it over and saw the thin edge of an off white “pull tab”. Upon a closer look it turned out to be this amazing price of Americana history. A beautiful 14k white gold Eagle Scout ring. After doing some research it happens to be a Type 1e. They changed the design in 1937 to a more square Art Deco design. It breaks my heart to think that a kid worked his butt off to earn such a distinguished honor and lose his ring. I wish there was a name inside so I could return it to him or his family. But I will display it with honor and respect for a time gone by. My rarest and most priceless find. God Bless America!”
