WINNER #1
My U.S. favorite find for May 2018 is the Pre Civil War Militia Plate 1830-40, found by Thomas E. from Massachusetts with his AT Pro and carrot.
Thomas's story: I was out bottle digging a few weeks ago at a civil war era cellar hole. I rounded up my goods to head on out. As you know calling it quits (for the day) in this hobby is one of the hardest things to do, so I dropped my pack and put my coil to the ground. Having marginal success finding a few buttons and a large bell until this happened. My first belt plate! Amazing. Enjoy.

WINNER #2
My second U.S. favorite find for May 2018 is the Early Militia Button, found by Robert B. from Virginia with his AT Max.
Robert's story: I got an invitation to hunt a union campsite. Bullets, period coins and other buttons were found on previous hunts by the fellow who invited me. I was impressed at the finds, especially the Rhode Island button. Along with the usual junk, I managed a thimble, an old P.O. box ID tag, and a 1919 wheat penny.
But the best find for me was the militia button. The AT Max proved its worth, sniffing it out amongst the iron by giving that high tone in those irony grunts. The Max is definitely a keeper!
