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.
