Finds of the Week

Extremely Rare Colonial Coin Found - One Man's Dream Comes True


“Audie and I have been detecting together for over 15 years as good friends and best buddies. If I had a good day and he didn't, I would make sure he did. He's always done the same for me, and we've always shared artifacts. Earlier this year we were given permission to detect some new grounds and we spent a pretty good part of the day there with not much luck.

We decided to leave and spend the last part of the day in a crop field that we've been searching for years. We've found some colonial artifacts and coins there in the past, and it was always worth another try.

But that day, finds were few and far between. Just as we were ready to call it a day Audie got a nice signal on his Fisher Coin Strike.

As he was digging I had walked up to him and asked him what he had. He said "it looks like another flat button." So he tossed it to me to check out as he covered his hole.

I could see that it was a colonial coin but it was one that I haven't seen before. I tossed it back to him, he stuck it in his pocket, and we headed to the truck thinking it was just one of those days. 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 laughed it off and went on to other conversations..."

A Metal Detector Saves a Treasure Hunter From Becoming an Outback Statistic

"Here's a lifesaving story - During my first trip to Australia, in 1983, I found myself out in the far reaches of North Queensland - in the out bush. And I mean "out bush" - not another soul for 50 miles at the very least.

I was so far from help, driving an Isuzu 4x4 into grass over a foot deep when I began to have ignition problems."

"I had to remove the points to keep my engine running and wouldn't you know it, I lost the little screw that held the things all together. It was a bummer of the worst kind, and both me and that screw were no where to be found by anyone.

I rolled my little 4x4 back with some difficulty, got my new k-bar knife out and whipped the grass shorter in an effort to find the screw that would get me back to civilization. . ."

Treasure Leads of the Week

Block Island , Rhode Island was first visited by explorer Verrazano in 1524 and again by the Dutchman Adriaen Block in 1614. It was considered a sacred island by the Indians and countless numbers of them were buried here.Settlers first came in 1661; remains of their homes are found at several locations on the island. During the Revolution a number of major naval actions occurred close by, which served as a refuge for criminals and deserters during this war.


The ruins of the Mount Ophir Mint are located in the outskirts of Mariposa, Maripoosa Co,. It was built in 1850 by John L. Moffat, part-owner of a mine and assaying firm in San Francisco. Here in February 1851 he coined the first fifty-dollar hexagonal gold coins, which are extremely valuable in today's numismatic market. Several of his workmen are alleged to have buried large numbers of these coins on the premises.

Finds of the Week

300 Year Old Religious Artifacts & Jeweled Crown Found With a Fisher Metal Detector

"A friend of mine recently invited me to hunt an area he had been hunting for the past few years. He felt like he had recovered most of the things that could be found with a standard 12" coil. After we arrived at the location we discovered it was an old home site.

I began searching the area using using my Fisher 1266x and the 12" Hot Head Coil. After finding several old pieces of iron hinges and farm tools that were 18" to 20" deep, I began walking back to my truck and received a clean signal that was "relay deep." After digging down approximately 2 ft. . ."

Not Your Average Treasure - One Man's Story Of Finding 7,000 Year Old Fallen Stars

"I grew up in N. E. Louisiana on the family farm. This area was home for Native American�s as far back as 1500 B.C. As we tilled the fields we would unearth all sorts of Indian relics. At an early age I started collecting them. Little did I know this would be training that would later help me in searching for rocks from space.

Generally speaking there are three main types of meteorites. They are stone, iron, and stony iron (pallasite). While all three contain some iron, the palisites and iron have the highest concentrations. To locate them I needed a metal detector.

Finding the guys at Kellyco was a great day. J.W. helped me chose the correct equipment the first time. He recommended the Deep Max III by Lorenz. The Deep Max III can handle large frame coils (up to 40 feet) for deep detection and covering large areas.

The meteorites I was looking for can be as deep as 7 feet and scattered over an area up to six miles long. With the 40 foot coil the Deep Max III allows one to cover as much as 20 acres a day. This greatly increases the chance of locating a meteorite. Soon after receiving my equipment I headed off to Kansas with high anticipation. After three weeks I had found lots of treasure (junk to me), but no meteorites. Man, this was hard. . ."

Treasure Leads of the Week - Ghost Towns

The ghost town of Buford, North Dakota is near the present town of Buford and the ruins of Fort Buford near the Montana State line, McKenzie Co. The town was founded by the American Fur Company in 1828 and abandoned in 1881 when the fort was deactivated. Only about a dozen buildings are still standing.

The ghost town of Dobytown, Nebraska is located one mile west of Fort Kearney on the Platte River, Buffalo Co. During the 1840s it was one of the wildest and wickedest towns in the West. Travelers along the oregon and Mormon Trails and soldiers from Fort Kearney kept the town lively at all times; the cemetery is full of many men who died in gun battles. Several saloons and other buildings still stand.
