My United States Favorite Find is the公主切割侯爵钻石戒指, found by Susan B. from Illinois with theAT Pro

Susan’s success story: June 18, 2021. Good Morning! Attached is a pic of the ring I found last week! I found it in Lake Michigan/Chicago with myAT PRO

它有40个公主切入的镶嵌钻石,中心是侯爵。到目前为止,我唯一的价值线索是珠宝商说他在侯爵夫人中找不到任何“包含”。Stone Setter说:“我不是宝石学家或评估师,但我认为价值15,000.00美元至20,000.00美元!!!”。等不及要看评估了!

除了addicted to detecting!!!!

My US Favorite Find for May 2021 is the订婚戒指Recovery, found by Burgess S. from South Carolina with theAT Max,5x8线圈,Pro-Pointer(萝卜)。

伯吉斯(Burgess)的成功故事:加勒特(Garrett)先生,我想分享我的发现故事,而不是我找到戒指的事实,而是要把它交给一个认为他们再也看不到它的人。八年前,她60多岁的一位女士与我联系。那个女人向我解释了戒指是如何丢失的。她的狗吃了...没有开玩笑。

She said her dog loves to eat shiny objects and the ring was on the coffee table when she went to bed. The next morning she could not find her ring anywhere, throughly checking the house, only then did she suspect the dog might have eaten the ring. The woman and her husband have searched the backyard (for 8 years now), where the dog would have “processed the ring out”, even renting a detector, only to find frustration and disappointment.

这个故事更令人惊讶,因为妇女和她的丈夫由于出售房屋而将很快搬家。她说,这次狩猎是她的最后一次尝试,然后放弃了所有希望再次看到戒指的希望。

When I arrived I found her backyard to be approximately 400' x 600'. I asked her the most probable locations the dogs usually go to the restroom and she pointed out about 8 large, different spots, but these were only guesses. I explained to her that I would give it my best shot. I started working, very diligently, still not knowing exactly where in the vast yard the ring could be. Slowly sweeping an inch above the grass, I walked my lines in overlapping patterns. In the first hour of hunting I dug about 30 holes. Two holes contained personalized pet dogs tags, those dogs long ago deceased. She had not seen those tags in years which brought back to her fond memories.

About the two hour mark I heard a clear but jumpy medium/high tone to which I cut a 6" deep plug and lifted it up, seeing nothing. I stuck my GarrettPro-Pointerin the hole, and it alerted! I moved some dirt and found a piece of aluminum. I thought to myself, “well that must be it but I’ll re-check the hole/plug”. (Always recheck). The pin-pointer did not signal to anything else in the hole but when I checked the bottom of the plug the pointer alerted to metal. I scratched away the dirt and saw the edge of a white gold ring! How absolutely amazing! I found her ring!

我在院子里走过,我告诉她:“奇迹确实发生了,戒指和她注定要在一起!”她很高兴,在8年后拿着戒指,她认为自己再也不会戴在手指上了!她和她的丈夫非常感谢我!

毫无疑问,这绝对是我迄今为止最好的金属检测发现,可能是我有史以来最好的发现!我只是想分享我的故事,并感谢加勒特先生制作了如此出色的探测器。
温暖的问候,
Burgess

我2021年4月的美国最喜欢的发现是999.9 24k Gold Ring来自得克萨斯州的一条得克萨斯河,来自德克萨斯州的Zola T.AT Max

Zola’s success story: I found this ring in the Guadalupe River, in the Hill Country of Central Texas, on Easter Sunday 4/4/2021. I was using myAT Max我最近购买的是为夏季狩猎季节做准备。我在特定位置停下来,因为它是该地区一家独木舟/皮划艇租赁公司的接送点,因此交通流量很高。我只是希望找到一些硬币,也许还有一些“通用”的现代珠宝,甚至什么都没有。我真的只是希望在最大限度因为我通常摇摆顶尖, with very different sounds. I had no idea I would find something EPIC, on my 1st water hunt with this machine, on the very 1st signal!!

I believe after some research, the ring has the “Elephant God” (Ganesh) carved in it, and it’s stamped “999.9” inside, which “normally” means 24K gold. However, I was very skeptical about it’s authenticity, mainly because it rang up a screaming solid 87 on the最大限度(also 87-88 on my顶尖in my yard), which is very unheard of for gold I thought. It’s also very rough around the bottom part of the ring, almost appearing plated in that area, even though there is no flaking of the gold at all. I was perplexed.

第二天,我将戒指带给了一位专门从事古董和房地产珠宝以及硬币的当地珠宝商。在使用3-4台不同的幻想机进行测试后,珠宝商确认该戒指确实是999.9纯金。她告诉我底部很粗糙,因为24K非常柔软,很容易刮擦,谁知道它在我找到它之前在河里滚动多长时间。

这位珠宝商还说,她认为印度最有可能是印度人,因为印度以24k的黄金直到最近才开始使用780(18k)而闻名。她不确定戒指的年龄,但她的猜测可能是更现代的(尽管她没有给出“现代”的定义)。她说,根据她的经验,真正的印度珠宝总是在内部盖上动物(即绵羊,兔子或其他动物)。由于他们直到最近才在印度使用24K,因此实际上没有必要用数字指定纯度。动物邮票指示制作这件作品的珠宝商(制造商的标记),并用动物邮票自动假定为24k或999.9,因为没有其他选择。直到“最近”,他们才开始使用数字而不是动物。

This find was not just unexpected and amazing, it is also a valuable educational experience, which I happily shared with the community in a post on the ‘Garrett Metal Detectors’ Facebook page.

1st Lesson: Since (I’ve been told) it’s super rare to ever dig jewelry marked 999.9, maybe we (the metal detecting community) just didn’t know that a fairly large chunk of pure gold WILL actually beep 87. I can confirm now that indeed it does. Now we know.

第二课:如果我们每个人将来都会挖掘任何真正古老的黄金珠宝,而动物上刻有动物,则没有数字,而且边缘周围有些粗糙,我们不应该把它扔出去,以为它是垃圾。现在我们知道了。

感谢您考虑我的条目“最喜欢的发现”。即使我不赢,这仍然可能是我一生的发现,我很高兴分享获得的经验和知识。

我2021年3月美国最喜欢的发现第二次世界大战紫心勋章, found by Matt M. from Michigan with hisAT Pro

Matt’s success story: This has to be my favorite find to date! I found the Purple Heart medal at a home in Michigan. The home site has been in the same family since the early 1800’s and after taking a few photos I returned this honorable war metal back to the family who’s loved one honored and sacrificed for our amazing country. I’ve visited this site several times over the last two years and have recovered many great artifacts with myAT PRO

On March 19th I had a repeatable tone that sounded larger than a coin. I dug a good size plug and popped it from the yard. As I flipped the plug over I noticed an object slide down and land on the grass. It was the Purple Heart which was at a depth of approximately 8 inches. Believed to be from WWII the family and I are still trying to locate the recipient of the medal after roughly 80 years. I’ve attached another image with the medal and the plug as it was before I touched it. If you look, you can actually see the heart impression on the top (bottom) of the plug. Thank you for your time and God bless.

My United States Favorite Find for February 2021 is the1924 - 1925年金县特别副警长徽章, found by Matthew B. from New Jersey with hisAT Pro

加勒特的成功故事:金属在2021年2月17日在新泽西州伯灵顿县发现今天的金属与AT Pro, I dug this badge. After getting home and revealing more details on the badge and doing research, it turns out the man who received the badge, Mr. Edward E Rutter, was the official photographer for Brooklyn and more specifically he captured a lot of photos of the construction of Coney Island Boardwalk.

Editor’s note: This Special Deputy Sheriff’s badge is personalized. The recipient’s name, Edward E Rutter, is inscribed on the backside. Perhaps his standing as Special Deputy Sheriff allowed him to move freely to capture photography of the booming Brooklyn.

My Second United States Favorite Find for February 2021 is the北卡罗来纳州内战按钮,由北卡罗来纳州的肖恩·S(Shawn S.)顶尖

肖恩的成功story: I have been searching for a virgin site for a few years now. One that held 1800-1900’s relics, coins, jewelry and many surprises. While doing some research in an area that I had recently received permission to explore, I plotted a few early 1900’s homesites on my phone to check out. One day, I went to my third plotted homesite and scored an 1858 seated half dime, 181? large cent, Civil War eagle button, Civil War three ringer all on the first day! Super excited, I couldn’t wait to come back the next day, then the next and the next.

我决定在此许可中使用两台机器的组合,各种线圈,以查看我还能找到什么。我正在使用加勒特AT-MAX和加勒特Ace Apex。I would start with one and then switch to the other.

Finally on my sixth or seventh trip out and while using the GarrettAce Apexwith the Viper coil, I get this screaming 76 ID. I pop the sandy cotton field plug. Not finding the target right away, I grab myPro-Pointer一个d it’s in the above side wall. I use my hands to scrape the sand out until I see a round item pop out. As I grab a hold and begin to wipe the sand off from the face of the item, I start to see something amazing and start to shake with excitement! I couldn’t believe my eyes as I read “NORTH CAROLINA” and see a sunburst in the middle of what looked to be a button. I flip it over and sure enough there is a shank too! Now I’m very excited, I snap a few pictures then a quick video for my future YouTube video. I couldn’t wait to share this item with my friends and followers, so I went to Facebook and went live!

I later found out from a buddy who had a book titled “North Carolina Civil War Buttons” by the late Terry Teff, this button is Ultra Super Rare! Only 1 of 8 (now) known to exist! I couldn’t believe I had just unearthed such a rare and amazing piece of North Carolina, Civil War and American history!

My U.S. Favorite Find for December 2020 is theUSN首席小军官银和金戒指,由俄克拉荷马州的罗宾·M(Robin M.)AT Pro

Robin’s success story: I was happily detecting an empty lot on a hot summer afternoon using myAT Pro。当我在一棵非常大的橡树下碰到一个不错的高信号时,我已经发现了我相当多的出色的声音瓶盖,并拉动了标签。我挖了一个不错的插头,拉出了pro-pointer,开始戳四周,没有。我备份了,再次旋转线圈,发现当我转过插头时,我的目标已经离洞几英尺。一旦我捡起它,我就注意到它很重。我将目标从藏身的块状中拉出,并注意到那是一个戒指。我的水瓶给了它一个快速的沐浴,然后我手里翻了一遍,意识到我发现了一段光泽的历史。

There weren’t any maker's marks inside the ring for identification purposes but I carried it around with me for a few weeks. I was showing the ring to folks seeing if anyone could help me figure out the ring’s history. I eventually showed it to a fellow employee who was also retired from the Navy. He identified it right away that it was a Chief Petty officer’s ring due to the gold fouled anchor and chain on the face of the ring. He stated when an officer reaches the rank of Chief Petty, his men will make him a homemade ring to celebrate the event. Doing a bit of additional searching, the gold seahorses on both sides of the ring also mean he reached the rank of Master Diver. While not official, he figured it was WWI-WWII time period. Would be nice to know the complete history of the ring but to me it was a pretty special find on a very hot summer afternoon!!!

My United States Favorite Find for November 2020 is the1856年印度大型金色美元(倾斜5种),由马里兰州的迈克·S(Mike S.)发现AT Max

Mike’s story: I was detecting with my GarrettAT Maxwith a 5x8 coil and getting some Civil War items, bullets etc. I got a good reading and dug it. I found a iron nail but thought there had to be more to it. I ran the coil over it again and behold. Out popped a beautiful 1856 Large Indian Head Gold Dollar, Slanted 5 Variety. It was my very first Gold coin ever!! To say I was stoked is an understatement. At first I thought for sure a token of some kind but I lightly cleaned it and saw the date. That feeling was something I’ve never felt before detecting. Truly awesome machine!

My U.S. Favorite Find for October 2020 is thePresident Harding Commemorative,由Chip K.来自佛罗里达的Chip K.AT Pro&5x8线圈。

Chip's story: I always preach to carefully double check your finds before discarding them. I have had several great finds that only a second look has prevented them from being lost. This is one of them. I love hunting curb strips in older historic areas and I’m lucky to live within an hour’s drive from several historic neighborhoods and towns. I especially concentrate my efforts where the curbs are made of cut stone, usually marble or granite and where the sidewalks are paved with bricks or blocks.

我在扫描一个这样的地方和我的AT Pro给我一个坚实的高调。我小心翼翼地收获了我希望的是银币,但惊讶地看到一条薄折的箔带,这解释了高信号。看起来像是一根口香糖的箔纸。我把它放在垃圾袋中。

在家里,我将袋子清空成托盘,并开始用金属对宝藏进行分类,因为我回收了所有东西,并且我的每种金属都有桶。因此,铝被分组为一个桶,在另一个桶中等等。

当我再次检查一下这条细条时,我很惊讶地看到边缘上有一个美国国旗。然后,我非常小心地慢慢展开它,并震惊地看到另一个边缘上有另一个旗帜,中间是一个男人的肖像,传奇总统在他身上hard在他身上,他的花圈包含他!我研究了它,但找不到任何内容,因此我将图片发送给了哈丁博物馆,询问有关它的信息。他们回答说,他们从未见过这样的东西,但是花圈意味着这是纪念他去世后尊敬他的纪念性。我提出要将其捐赠给博物馆,并正在等待有关如何显示和使用它的信息。

哈丁是我们从1921年到1923年去世的第29任总统。

My US Favorite Find for September 2020 is the14k金/钻石戒指,由内华达州的肖恩·J(Shawn J.)发现顶尖

肖恩的成功story: I decided to hit a local park before work. I’ve been itching to get out with my new顶尖,但是最近这里的天气非常热。今天早上有一些云覆盖物,我认为我至少有一个小时的温度升高。在那段时间内,我挖了许多clad硬币并拉动tabs。我在目标上收到了一个大约55的信号,并认为这只是另一个拉动标签。当我开始挖掘时,我看到了戒指的侧面……再次看起来像一个拉动标签,直到更多地暴露出来。黄色的金色在阳光下闪闪发光,我知道我有一些好东西!将其拉出后,我看到脸上覆盖着钻石。我的心正在赛车!害怕它可能是服装珠宝,我赶回家清理并测试金/钻石。它是14K黄金,带有0.15 CTW钻石。 I’m impressed with the顶尖一个d look forward to making more finds like this one!
