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. . ." Click here to read about the this amazing and rare discovery. Note: The Fisher 1266x has been updated, and is now the Fisher 1270. 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. . ."

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.

North Florida Gives Up Lots of Silver Coins!

"My son and I where detecting near what we thought was the foundation of an old house people in the neighborhood said burned down 20 years ago. The roof was evidently nailed together with 10,000 nails and because of the fire they were all over the place.

My son uses the MP3 Pro and I now use the MP5. I am so happy we bought these models as we could never detect this place if we didn't have the great discriminators on MP's. We tuned out all the nails and other junk and started finding lots of pennies, mostly close to the surface. We later moved around to what was the back of the house and the first silver coin found was a 1940 mercury dime followed by a 1045 merc. Then both my son and I got a "HIT" within a few feet of each other. He yelled "Got a silver dollar Dad!". 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 different 1 Troy Oz. 999 Fine Silver Coin. Both were tarnished but looked really great to us!

We hunted the area more carefully and found many more coins including a 1965 Eastern Caribbean Territories Coin, looks like silver, not sure it is. A final stroke of good luck was a bright American Gold Dollar near the car as we were packing up to go home.

Our MP's have more then paid for themselves in finds and fun and I didn't have to spend thousand dollars to do it."

John H. Found a 1880 Five Dollar Gold Coin!

1880 Five Dollar Gold Coin

I bought a White's Classic from Tony at Kellyco about 2 months ago. I went to a cow pasture near new construction of a subdivision in Kissimmee, Florida to treasure hunt with my new detector. I noticed a clump of trees in the pasture and thought there might have been an old home site on the property. After a search of about 15 minutes I had found no home site. There seemed to be nothing but trash around the trees. Then I got a good hit! I dug down about 3 inches and found some silver coins and the 5 dollar gold coin. What a surprise! The coins were in an old leather sack that fell apart when I picked it up. It must be beginner's luck!

A 230 Year Old Button Discovered With a Whites DFX "Just last month I purchased a Whites DFX from Barbara at Kellyco, and have been having a great time ever since! I as recently hunting a site on a family members farm in Conneticut. It had an old, stone foundation and we've previously found 18th century pottery, nails, pipes and other odds and ends. I was shocked when I got a 17+ VDI in the stone foundation within the first week with my DFX! I moved a few rocks from the wall, and there sitting nicely protected from the elements was a 1777 USA Continental Army General Service enlisted soldier's button.

Orange Grove Yields a Strongbox With Thousands of Dollars For decades adventurers have plied the shores of Florida's peninsula in search of sunken riches, mostly in vain. But James S. had only to sink a shovel in an orange grove. A few feet beneath the rich, black soil he clanged against an old metal box containing bills in denominations from $100 to $1,000 dating back to 1839. Two of them were issued by United States bands prior to the Civil War. The oldest, from the Clinto Band of Philidelphia, was issued to a Samuel Benedict for $100 on December 2, 1839. The others were Confederate currency. "I'd just set out to plant a couple orange trees," said the auto leasing company worker. He had recently bought a small parcel of land in nearby rural Pasco County. "I knew it had to be something solid," he said... Click here to read the rest of this amazing and rare story.
