WINNER #1
My 1st U.S. favorite find is the 1853 2 1/2 Dollar Gold Coin, found by Glenn S. from New York with his AT Pro.
Glenn’s story: “I’ve been detecting for about 25 years and have had many great finds. On November 15th I was out with my MD partner / nephew Chris, got a solid # 53 VDI and dug only 4-6 inches and unearthed an 1853 2 1/2 Dollar gold coin with a broken bezel and necklace, I yelled CHRIS!!! He couldn’t believe his eyes and I couldn’t either. My luck this year is the best in all of my years of metal detecting. My advise to everyone always is swing “Low & Slow”, real slow and good things will be discovered. Thank you Garrett for producing one great machine-the AT Pro.”

WINNER #2
My 2nd U.S. favorite find is the Federal Officer's Civil War Buckle, found by Perry W. of Pennsylvania with his AT Pro.
Perry’s story: “Took a trip to an old foundation I have been wanting to get to for over a year. Hunted there for 6 hours with not one dig signal. Thought the day was a bust. There is a small cemetery on top of hill behind the foundation and was heading there to pay my respects before leaving. Detecting my way up hill only went about 20 ft. and got a hard hit and reading of 85, but kept losing the 85 because of a lot of iron in ground. Started digging, pulled out a bunch of old hand cut nails and a small piece of plow. Was down about 12 inches still getting the 85. Kept digging, probe kept saying deeper, at 15 inches deep buckle came into view, I almost passed out. Was never expecting to find a buckle. Went to cemetery, paid my respects and headed home to research the buckle and found it is a federal sword belt plate.”

My 3rd U.S. favorite find is the War of 1812 4th Regiment Eagle Button, found by Kelly H. from Maine with his Ace 250.
Kelly’s story: “Me and my friend Ritchie were detecting a corn field down along the river. I drifted off the field and down to an old river crossing. My Ace 250 sounded off on a solid target. Down only a couple of inches I recovered this amazing War of 1812 flat button. You can see the 4 in the lasso representing the 4th Regiment.”
