Curtis went detecting with his buddy in the woods and got a high signal using his AT Pro.

WINNER #1
Congratulations to our US Favorite Finds winner Jon H. from Virginia!
Jon took advantage of going water hunting because where he lives in Virginia, they were experiencing record drought this summer. He took his AT Pro with him to the deepest swimming holes at his local creek. This year, he has found 3 muskets and a 20lb Parrot shell. On this day, he got a screaming signal and had to dig it. He found a model 1842 Smoothbore Musket 69 caliber in great condition! He says, “This musket would have been lost in a hasty retreat in one of the Battles here in Northern Virginia, as a soldier forded the creek and dropped it. It is an incredible feeling to find any relic last touched by a Civil War soldier, but it is especially amazing when it is a fully in fact musket. I was using my trusty AT Pro which is very durable, reliable in the rigors of water hunting, and has served me well for over 10 years. Thank you, Garrett.”

Congratulations to our US Favorite Finds winner Ole A. from California!
Ole went out with a few of his friends to a spot where they had been before to hunt for gold, but this time, it was infested with rattlesnakes. They decided to move spots further north from the original spot because the pi performance and Iron ID were good. He brought out the Garrett Axiom to test this area out and did not leave it disappointed. He found several chunky gold nuggets at good depth with the Axiom! He writes, “Thank you, Garrett!”

Congratulations to our US Favorite Finds winner Jay S. from Kansas!
Jay was hunting in his buddy’s field with his AT Pro, which had produced some pre-civil war relics. He was starting to get worn because after 2 hours he was not getting any good targets. He started walking and swinging towards his car. He writes, “ It was in the junk range but since I hadn’t dug anything for quite a while, I lifted a shovelful of dirt out and determined it was in the plug. As I was pulling the sticky clump apart, I saw a glint that I thought I’d never see. It was a gold coin! I was over the moon, and this was a find of a lifetime.” He found a 1851 2 ½ dollar gold coin!

Congratulations to our U.S. Favorite Finds winner Blake J. from Georgia!
Blake says, “When your intuition says “one last hole”.... dig it, you never know what it could be!”
On this day, he was detecting an antebellum farmhouse with his ACE 400. He decided to dig up the last target of the day when uncovered the 1914 United Confederate Veterans Reunion Medal! He searched on Google at the farmhouse for what he found and realized he only found one part of the medal. He writes, “Instead of packing up, I continued detecting. About 45 minutes later, that promising tone and signal rang up again, about 6-10 feet adjacent to the hole that produced the bottom part of the medal. It was the top part of the medal, with the small connecting loop still attached!”
