WINNER #2
My second U.S. favorite find for March 2017 is the Civil War Dog Tag, found by Bob C. from Pittsburgh, PA with the AT Pro.
“I decided to go digging at lunch time today and went to one of our local parks that was opened in 1914. Pulled many silver coins and cool relics from this park but never a civil war dog tag!
I had a good signal and was thinking half dollar. Dug the hole and out pops a big disc. Being the curious person I am I started cleaning it in the field. Was confused when I saw 1861 and a shield. I didn’t know what it was so immediately started looking online. I first thought it was a civil war token but noticed some writing on the back. I then found it was a civil war dog tag. How the heck did that end up in this park? I am still in the cleaning stage but it’s coming along nicely. It’s in really good shape and just some peroxide made a lot of the original brass color show up. It just amazes me the history behind this.
The back says Caleb R Foster CO. B, 13 reg, PA Vol Temperanceville. I found that Caleb R Foster was in the 102 regiment Pennsylvania infantry company B. He was wounded at Wilderness, VA. He mustered out with his company on June 28, 1865. He died at 78 from pneumonia and he is buried in Chartiers Cemetery.
I have started looking at values and looks like at auction it could go from $1750 to $2200. Wow I am still shaking and this is definitely my best find ever its gonna be hard to top this one!!!”

WINNER #3
My third U.S. favorite find for March 2017 is the 1917 Mercury dime, found by Alton D. from Missouri, with his AT Pro.
“After the start of 2017 my 12 yr old son Alton and I upgraded our 20 year old detector to a new AT PRO. First trip out in the woods next to our house produced 4 coins and 1 token and our first silver! (The most coins we had prior to this in 1 day was 2.) We just set it in PRO coins, tested it on a couple of coins, and a bottle cap and were on are way. Since that first trip we have been out many times and found more coins. However our most rewarding find came after school one day when my son found a 1917 mercury dime by himself while I was feeding our cows. What makes this find so rewarding is that his great grandmother just turned 100 yrs old this month (March 11) and we had been talking about how nice it would be if we could find a coin from the year she was born and give it to her on her birthday.”
