When I broke open the clod of earth the first I saw of the aestel was its flat back covered in mud. Seriously just looked like a piece of gold coloured foil, hence the milk bottle top similarity. Obviously, soon as I had the object in my hand I knew it was something special!
Minelab Metal Detector Helps Tony Find Treasure!
It’s a U.S. Great Coat Button, with a rarity of 27 in existence! Valued at about $800.00, I felt fantastic when I picked it out of the ground! It’s not often that a button like that is found in Florida. Thanks to an Albert Button book I was able to identify it as soon as possible. 
That was my best find to date - an 1843 small D $5.00 gold piece. You see, Dahlonega, Georgia was home to a U.S. mint from 1838 to 1861, and only minted gold coins. It was a small mint and ceased operation after the Civil War was over, so these coins are pretty rare. To my knowledge, this is the only Dahlonega coin ever found by a metal detector, and its value is still undetermined.
After about three hours in this field I got a good signal. It was only 4" down and my hunting partner knew immediately what it was. The only Texas Unit button ever made, only a few have ever been found. It's a Waco Guards Civil War button, worth anywhere from $2,500.00 to $3,000.00 - but priceless to me! 
One day I was searching a desolate beach in Cape Cod, MA. just me, a sand scoop and my Whites MXT that I had been using for two years, when I found my best treasure. I had been out for about a half hour and the beach was really sandy because a storm had just passed. I got a good signal and found, buried about an inch down, a 1.74 carat diamond ring. 
I was recently hunting in a construction site, looking for Civil War relics with my Fisher 1266-X and a shovel
Nobody was with me while I hunted that day, and the top soil had been piled up from the construction that was going on nearby. It was already dark out, but I had a flashlight and was determined to get a hunt in that day. After only about 10 minutes I got a signal, and about 8" down I found my favorite find to date.
Worth Its Weight in Gold 
This is a very sophisticated gold detector. Although simple to operate, I am often amazed at the depth achieved by this detector. No heavy batteries and harness and power leads to put on and connect make this detector a pleasure to use when prospecting new areas.
I can be out of my vehicle and checking a new area in a matter of seconds. 
Using our Garrett GTI 2500s over the past 18 months, we have uncovered literally thousands of coins and other treasures in the Rocky Mountains of Montana. Searching forgotten ghost towns, mining camps, and old parks in the Anaconda area, our collection of artifacts and local memorabilia includes: an 1851 cavalry belt plate, an 1894 political pin proclaiming Anaconda as the capital of Montana, coins dating back to 1859… 
“Unbelievable is the only way to describe my recent treasure hunting adventure in the UK with my GTI 2500. It wasn’t long after starting our search that I found a full Celtic Gold Stater of Addedemaras, Celtic Chief in approximately 30-15 BC. Fate was again kind to me and I retrieved another from only about 4-5 inches down, the GTI 2500 locked on perfectly! 
“It was more than four inches deep,” he said. In such a rural area, “I knew it was probably something of interest.” Joe dug up an 1847 half dime, likely lost in that field in the 19th century when an old Texas community was once located on the site. 
“These are some of the Civil War grape shots, also called cannister fill, that I’ve recovered over several weeks at a spot in Georgia. I was able to pinpoint each one with my Garrett 2500.”
Georgia Gold Unearthed With GTI 2500
Well known campsites in the coastal areas of George and South Carolina are often considered “hunted out.” But I have proof that “hunted out” is nonsense!
I have found an impressive amount of American Civil War relics with my new, Fisher CZ metal detector from Kellyco. All were found in areas that have been pounded by those who consider themselves “Pro’s” and use every type of metal detector imaginable.
What a winter. Snow and very, very cold. Not being able to underwater or land treasure hunt makes me very unhappy and miserable. I am about 70 miles from Long Island sound. I try to go on my days off which are Mondays. I will go when I can catch the low tide during the middle of the day. As of this writing, I have made 4 trips and I have found a piece of gold 3 out of 4 times. 
“Metal detecting started out as something for me and my wife to do with our children when they were little. Living in Florida, we would take the family to the parks and beaches. I would detect while they played, and often they would help dig. Now that they’re older my wife and I have more time to treasure hunt and we truly enjoy the hobby. 
The hut areas were starting to produce some very nice bottles including ink wells, whiskey, food and medicine bottles. One find of note was a very nice 12 pound Confederate Read artillery shell. There was also a great script C Confederate rosette found that had everyone excited. 
On our way home I had mentioned to Audie that I would love to find a gold coin one day. His response was“I don't want to find a gold coin. I wish I could find one of those rare coins that you don't see everyday.“ We had a few buckles and buttons – not too bad. As we were relaxing and talking about our next trip out he went over to my book shelf and pulled out the Red Book of coins and started looking for the coin that he had found. Low and behold, there it was. 
Found the necklace at about 5pm. I also found $2.71, three junk earrings and a junk toe ring. Water is getting cool so on my next trip I will have on my wet suit. I took the necklace to the jeweler and he put a low ball price because he did not have time to count all the diamonds so he said?
It took me a few days of trying before I finally figured out that I should get off the desert floor and up into the dry washes of the mountains. Now I pretty much avoid areas where humans can live or camp, so if something “beeps” I know it is worth diggin’ for. And for me, that is in the dry washes. If you get down lower most of the targets are foil, and while I did find an old bullet one time.
It was getting dark out but there were several other metal detectorists on the beach. I put my headphones on, handed my wife a digger, and started my search for treasure. The loudest tone I got was a very elusive fishing hook. But I also managed to find a rusted pipe, two pennies, several nails, a watch that still works, and a little piece of scrap metal buried about 5 inches under dry sand by the beach ramp.
I have been an avid land hunter for 35 years but after detecting an old beach area and shallow water, my views are changing about detecting! My friend Sonny invited me down for some water detecting and I made the 250 mile drive to detect. I have tried water detecting on and off over the years with not much luck. My luck would change as both me and Sonny were using the Fisher CZ-20's and made some awesome finds.
The place in the park where I was detecting use to have a really old three story house on part of the park grounds. I was over by some huge black walnut trees, when I received a super strong signal indicating silver, so i started digging. At about 10 inches I found a baby food jar with sixteen old coins in it. It had an 1877 Liberty seated quater, 1920 mercury dime, 1930 buffalo nickel, two Libery head nickels 1893 and 1897 and three Indian head pennies which are 1893, 1906, and 1907 plus other silver coins, it was great.
I made my way up to the very corner of the field and that someone had already dug hole there. This was an almost perfectly cylindrical hole about 6 inches across and about 9 inches deep."Now, about half the time when I'm out there and I come across a hole, filled in or not, I run my coil over it to see if the previous digger missed something. I did this with this hole and got a very loud tone that sounded like a surface soda can.
I found it using my Whites MXT with the 5" excelarator coil, found in London, Ontario Canada, about 4" deep. the ground is infested with well rusted iron and a lot of nails I usually get 2-3 in in every scoop of my digger. the MXT with 5" excelarator coil is great at separating trash.
I hunted for about an hour before I got my first good signal. I got a VDI reading of 90-92 indicating 50 cents at 2" deep. The soil was loose and I used my hand to remove the soil, and out popped this shiny coin. It was a coin that I am not familiar with. It took me a moment to see that it was a 1910 silver Canadian half dollar. It is well worn but still a very nice find.
Well I am impressed with this 8" DD Excelerator coil. I was hunting in a "hunted out" park that has its fair share of trash. I found that even though this coil is bigger than I normally use is high trash areas, I was still able to get great target separation and recover some coins out of the trash. VDI numbers were accurate as was the depth readings. I was running my White's MXT's gain at +2 and the detector was reasonably stable and quiet. What I liked best about the coil was its detection depth.
Within 15 minutes I dug a 1897 O Barber dime and a 1891 Indian Head. I continued to detect, being a bit more excited (and optimistic) now. I continued for about another 45 minute and recovered some modern clad dimes, 2 more wheaties and 10 memorials. A couple days later I got to thinking about that dime and decided to look up the value in the Red Book. Lo and behold it was a RARE dime I had found with only 666,000 minted!!
When I put the 6" excelerator on my DFX and was doing some testing I got this signal right next to a piece of metal(I always missed it with the large stock coils). It was a small gold ring! I couldn't believe it!! Now I am convinced about these small DD coils. They are great in trash!
I decided to work my way down to the water. I was able to get into the water very easily, so I turned on my Excalibur 1000 and set the threshold. On my 3rd sweep I got a great tone. I thought to myself this could not be that easy. I made my first scoop and was going to make another sweep at the target. I then looked down at my scoop and there on top of the mud was his wedding band. 
I could not believe that all of this was left behind by me and everyone else using all different brand names of metal detectors. The 6" Excelerator coil is hot, hot, hot! Every site that I go to now with this coil I know that I will find something - coins or some objects - left behind by some others. 
This coil is an excellent choice for open field hunting and even in high trash areas.
I have only used it for about 6 or 7 hours but in that time I found that I was able to detect deep targets as I dug several targets that were in the 8 to 9 inch range. I feel that the coil is capable of getting down deeper. Pinpointing with this coil is a snap.
I recovered this beautiful women's silver bracelet with what I believe to be Mother of Pearl stones all the way around it. It is very heavy and is marked .925. I walked over to my wife to do a little bragging and held it out for her to see. Well she scooped it out of my hand faster than I could say " Hey Honey look what I found." I think she likes it. It is going to be a great summer for metal detecting.
I thought you might like to see a photo of a 14K gold ring with 8 diamonds that I recovered this 4th of July. I went to a park that had a couple of ball diamonds. I was swinging my White's MXT in left field when I got a solid 14 VDI reading on the display.I dug the target and imagine my surprise when this beautiful gold ring with 8 diamonds popped out of the hole. This is my second gold ring with diamonds in two days. I guess I am pretty lucky. 
Today my wife and I went metal detecting. We went to a park that has produced some nice finds in the past and today it would produce again. My wife dug this very nice women's 10K gold ring that has 10 diamonds. Needless to say, she was thrilled with her find. She was using her White's MXT with her favorite search coil, the Excelerator 4.5x7 DD. She got a solid 10-12 VDI reading at 4 inches down.
Well it turn out that I was right. My First find was a liberty Head Nickel about eight inches deep. Not a bad start for the day. I detected for about four hours total. Finds were. Two liberty Head nickels, Three large cents, two buckles, two mercury’s, two standing liberty’s, one IH, and a nice Bell.
I was able to get out today with my Minelab SE and the new 6 inch DD Excelerator coil. This coil has proven to be an exceptional coil for me. It is hot on small gold items and coins. The deepest coin I've dug was a 1920 wheat penny from 8 inches down with this coil.
This is my first gold find. The coin is in Arabic and had it translated to 1327. It is probably a 50 Kurish from Turkey. My eleven year old daughter and I are very happy with the three Minelab detectors we have purchased from Kellyco. and look forward to finding more interesting items. 
Although I've been detecting a long time and owned lots of metal detectors, I had never owned a DFX.
When it arrived last week from JW at Kellyco, I read the manual, watched the DVD and re-read the manual. I have been using the Super 12 coil quite a bit on my MXT and decided that was the coil for the DFX's "maiden voyage". I took the detector out to my coin garden and familiarized myself with the settings and the sounds. I immediately noticed how the audio tone of the DFX reminded me of my XLPro.
I think Whites Metal Detectors, hands down, are the best in the world, especially, the DFX. I Have had mine about six months and a month ago I was scanning with my DFX, in a park near my home in Dixon, California. The place in the park where I was detecting use to have a really old three story house on part of the park grounds. I was over by some huge black walnut trees, when I received a super strong signal indicating silver.
After a few outings to the Local beaches and finding nothing but pop tops I decided to give my neighborthood park and lake a try. I found about $2.00 in chance the first day looking around the swings where kids play and a silver eagle near by where the parents sit on a bench to watch the kids play. Well, to make a long story short.
I want to thank everyone at Kellyco for providing me with unparalleled customer service. The metal detector I recently purchased from you stopped working. When I called you for assistance, you sent a new replacement unit to the ranger station via overnight shipment. Thanks to your wonderful service.
I was shocked when the first week with my DFX I was getting a 17+ VDI in the stone foundation. I moved a few rocks from the wall and there sitting nicely protected from the elements was this 1777 USA Continental Army General Service enlisted soldier's button.
I had only made a few sweeps of my coil when I located two targets within inches of each other. One target read a quarter and the other read a dime. I dug both targets and recovered two silver coins, a 1942 quarter and a 1934 Mercury dime. I don't dig a lot of silver coins so I was pretty excited. The 6" DD Excelerator search coil never ceases to amaze me.
I am really tickled with my new 10 X 14 DD Excelerator search coil. When the coil arrived I mounted it on my White's MXT and I was happy to see that the detector had a good balance with the big coil mounted. I got a chance to put the coil through its paces for a couple hours or so this weekend at a school near my home. I found that it pinpointed right on the money, VDI numbers were accurate and I was able to run the gain near max without any noticable chatter. 
However, two block down the street from my home address is a small park that has been there since the Mid 70's. It has a playground for kids with Swings and Slides plus a covered pavillion with a grill. I guess over the years many people have been the this park and dropped coins plus other things. The photo below is what I been able to detect with my new M6 on 4 Outtings now at the park.
I was hunting with my MXT with the 4.5x7 Excelerator coil. (Love that coil) We had been hunting for about an hour when I got a solid penny reading. I recovered this odd little figure from about 4" down. It appeared to be a man with wings having a fat belly holding a torch above his head. On the bottom of the figure it reads Moline (MP) Plow company. 
When I returned, I rescanned the area and confirmed the target to be at a depth of 6 inches. Before I dug, I advanced the Gain to +4 and raised the coil as I swept over the target. I was able to clearly hear the audio response, as well as a consistent VDI reading with the coil sweeping 7 inches above the ground. Anxious to see what I had missed so many times before, I cut the sod from around the target location.
Hello... It has been over 12 months when I purchased the PI Pro from you And I have found over $200 in money, and many old coins. But my best finds are the rings. I have attach's a photo of them for you to see..
Thank you for this wonderful detector...
Kindness regards...Andrew Australia.
I was using my DFX with my own custom program and the new Excelerator coil. The train knife was the neatest find of the day which came from a depth of 10 inches. This knife has some "meat" to it as it weighs in at 4 ozs. Wish I knew how old it is but it was still a nice find and the coil banged it out with no problem from that depth. 
I hunted the front yard for about two hours pulling pieces of brass and lead from depths of 10 to 12 inches. I walked over to the field along side the house that would end up yielded the majority of my finds. In the field the 16.5 coil was easier to swing then I thought it would be.
"Super" Gold Coin There it was, sparkling in the sun light a Gold coin looking as beautiful as the day it was minted! This Gold coin is a limited edition Super Bowl Commemorative Coin found in the original plastic case. 
A Silver Coins Weekend! I put my detector down to take a look at what turned out to be 1 Troy Oz. American coin. I started to dig my signal and soon came up with another 1 Troy Oz. 999 Fine Silver Coin. 
Wedding Ring Finally Found After 25 Years! Within 5 minutes I hit what turned out to be the ring. I pinpointed it and as I got my Gator Digger out to start digging, I caught a glimpse of the ring. It was partially sticking out of the dirt/grass.
Seeing my mom's and dad's expressions was priceless.
White's DFX Finds 100+ Year Old Cameo Brooch! Most of my finds were a first for me. Included, are my favorites, such as the cameo brooch estimated to be about 150 years old, 2 silver Mercury dimes, V nickels both 1904, 2 indian head pennies 1901 and 1897 and a gorgeous standing liberty quarter with no date. Many items were found together on the same day. (WAAHOOO!) I was hoping to find 2 of the liberty quarters on the same day too, but I guess my doubles streak had to end sooner or later. 
Perhaps one of the most interesting topics debated in Judaic numismatics is the uncertainty surrounding the origin of the origin of the 1927 Historic Holyland Coin, sometimes referred to as the "Souvenir Mil." The true story about why this particular item was made has never been known with a high degree of certainty.
I was testing the Minelab Excalibur 1000 with the 10 Inch search coil. With the tide so high, there was very little loose sand. The entire area was wet with salt water but all three machines performed exceptionally well. I started detecting close to the retaining wall and within a minute I had a target indicated. Dug a new nickel, moved a few more feet down the beach, then I got hits like crazy! 
"Im going to use the money to buy four years' worth of toys and motorcycles for the whole family", Tim said."Maybe we'll be able to live above the poverty level for a while. My family has been through some tough times the past few years." Tim made his discovery while dredging in a 3-foot hole. "I was sucking it out when the side caved in," he said. "I thought I saw something, so I let the water clear up for a few minutes and there it was." 
Caleb G. was digging for arrowhead around an old tobacco patch near his home when he struck gold. It was a $10 gold coin. Something of a miniature gold rush developed after the word got around and several hundred people began digging at the farm during the next two days.
I was running in the coin and jewelry program with tone ID on and was hoping to dig another gold ring but just dug the trash I included in the photo, digging through sod and hard dirt is a nasty chore! I managed o find some clad at the usual shallow depths for the next 1/2 hour and then I got a sweet silver tone, which turned up the silver ring which was 6 inches deep on the meter and had a chunk of aluminum right above it! 
Somewhere in Tennessee police searched a muddy city parking lot where workmen discovered a (container-pot) of gold coins that may have been buried during the Civil War. The U.S. gold pieces are worth (conservatively) up to $3,000 each but it's unclear how many were found since the workmen made off with most of them. "We have accounted for 177 and that's just by talking to people who said that they had possessed some,said the Mayor. "There may be a good bit more than that." 
The pictured gold coin was found on the Connecticut/Rhode Island shoreline in 2001. Sandy entered her coin find at the Best of Northeast Treasure show in Keene, NH. She won first place for beach finds. The following is an excerpt from a letter Sandy Crouch sent DetectorPro.
No Pain, No Gain!
In the photo from left to right: - a 9K English gold ring; I really do dislike finding 9K - and am always tempted to throw them back in! This one was found deep. Then a very heavy (it’s quite thick) platinum ring with a small diamond. Last is a 14K ring with a missing small diamond.
Diamond & Emerald Rings Found with Headhunter!
“Metal detecting has been something I’ve always wanted to do. I chose a detector which would allow me to treasure hunt on land, as well as being able to use it while enjoying my other hobby, scuba diving. My wife and I travel through Northern Ontario and search the fresh water lakes in the region.” 
Here are two pictures of recent finds I made at my local beach. The ring appraised for $600 and the cross for $4,000.The targets were very deep and I had no problem picking them up with the Gray Ghost Headphones. The combination of your headphones and my detector are a winning combination for me. The signal rang through loud and clear.
