12 Ways To Find Older Areas To Metal Detect

While there are many different places hunt with your Metal Detector, the thrill of recovering older more valuable coins plus holding in your hands different relics of the past will be something you will want to experience. Finding coins from the 17th,18th and early 19th Century is a far greater thrill then you can imagine.

The answer to finding older sites is "Research!" Where can you find research material?

1-Old Maps - can be found in local libraries, local history books, they show old roads, abandoned railroad stations, many times school buildings and other points of interest that either no longer exist, or people have forgotten about.

2-Old Newspapers contain a wealth of information on almost every page Stories about holiday celebration on the town square park (May no longer exists) Carnival arriving in town (where did they set up?) and much more information.

3-Old Property Tax Records show where older houses, farms, service stations, interstate bus stops, taverns etc.. once stood. Lots of old coins to be found.

4-School Records not only tell you where schools once stood. Find all the roads and paths that students took to get to school. Find out exactly where the building or buildings stood. School playground areas, where outside lunch benches were... etc.

5-Local Historical Societies are a great resource containing valuable information on dozens of older happenings of your town from it's very beginnings up till today... A valuable resource not to be overlooked.

6-Local Museums usually have displays of historical interest as well as many books on the areas history. Spend time with anyone that works in the museum, they generally are part "Historian." Listen to what they can tell you.

7-Senior Citizens are a walking history of your town or city. Take the time to visit the Senior Citizen Homes and events. Make friends with those folks and listen to the stories they can tell.

8-Old Police Reports can pinpoint events that can turn into a "Treasure" spot. Robberies of lake front homes many times ended with the thief throwing his loot into the lake if he was about to be captured. Police calls to businesses or homes that are empty lots right now.. etc.

9-Old Fire Department records can indicate where many building & properties once existed. Probably the best source for what once stood on now empty lots. Fire Departments also participated in many town activities such as picnics and parades. Where did the parades begin and end? Where were the picnics held?

10-Churches - church records will show where the earliest churches were established. Some no longer exist & were torn down or purchased for another business now on that spot. People spent time before and after church to picnic and join in many outdoor activities.

11-College(s) - start small and add more buildings from time to time. Lots of areas outside buildings, sports areas, student eating areas, picnic spots, etc. Colleges are also a depository of information about the towns and cities where they are located. Check the college library.

12-Library - we saved the best for last. No place has more information than the local library. .Check with the Librarian who can direct you to a wealth of information about your town. (Or any town if you want to search out sites in neighboring areas) Libraries are the main "Depository" of information of all kinds,, many times having a number of items discussed above, "old maps, old books, old records, etc". Get a library card, it will really pay off!

DetectorPro Pirate Metal Detector Finds Beach Treasure!

DetectorPro Beach Finds

J-man (my hubby) bought himself a new Pirate this week. Although we are both Excal users, he wanted something for a back up machine or for company to use. In the past I have owned the first generation Headhunter PI and the second generation Wader........both were very good machines so we wanted to see how the Pirate measured up to the Wader. Of course it is light weight and a very easy swing, the sensitivity is excellent and we were able to discriminate iron starting with a setting of 3. Headset is very comfortable. Coins were found as deep as 10 inches and a gold plated ring was found at 6 inches......loud and clear! Of course iron was dug up just to see what the sounds were and how much discrimination was needed. It is an excellent machine for the beach and performed exceptionally well in the wet sand and at the water's edge............You did well Detector Pro!!!

White's Beach Hunter ID Finds Gold Ring with Diamond & Sapphires!

I just wanted to write in and thank KELLYCO for selling me some outstanding machines. I bought a White's DFX and a Beach Hunter ID from you folks along with a bunch of accessories. I have had some great success of late surf hunting with the Beach Hunter ID. I went to a smaller lake where there is a lot of camping activity and a small swimming area. I started hunting in the shallows and worked my way out deep I found some coins and many bottle caps before a loud sounding of my Beach Hunter ID grabbed my attention.

The machine indicated a non-ferrous object. When I brought my scoop up I immediately saw the shine of a gold ring in the brilliant sunlight. When I pulled the beautiful ring out of my scoop I was in awe of the beauty of this ring that featured 5 diamonds and 8 sapphires, my best find to date. The scoop I used was a two piece Travel Beachmaster bought from KELLYCO. I got the ring on the first scoop in about 4 feet of water. I went on to find a men's gold ring as well.

With my DFX I pulled this beautiful ant ique broach out of the ground at a local park. The broach was down 6 inches. My DFX indicated a VDI reading for high quarter, low half. To my surprise as I saw the round stones of Amber. When I figured out what I was looking at in the hole, I was very careful to remove the soil slowly as I didn't want to dislodge any of the stones or mini pearls. As I found other coins in this section of the park, I believe that the broach was lost in the 1920's.

Thank You for selling me the equipment I need to get the job done! Your friendly staff is both knowledgeable and eager to help. Give them a raise!

Sincerely Greg A., Beaverton, MI

ATTENTION Minelab Excalibur Owners Both NEW & OLD! EXCLUSIVE New Learning Tool You Don't Want to Miss!

Tony Diana, one of Kellyco's long-time customers as well as a renowned musician, has put together a one-of-a-kind CD for Minelab Excalibur users. This CD is the first time that the principles of sound engineering have been applied to detecting signal recognition. It establishes terminology and definitions for the science of listening to these signals and the art of applying them.

Being a trained musician has given Tony an interesting perspective on the various tones, pitches and signals produced by the Minelab Excalibur metal detector; it has also given him great success on Florida's beaches. Tony has found countless rings, necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry; and he credits his great success with his ability to tell the subtle differences in sounds issued by his metal detector.

From the combination of Tony's love of treasure hunting and his trained musical ear, the CD "Basic Ear Training for Excalibur" was born. Part easy-listening, part step-by-step instructions, this CD is essential for anyone who owns a Minelab Excalibur metal detector and hopes to be successful on the beach.

Tony's calm, patient voice provides a gentle explanation to the multitude of tones issued by the Excalibur and compares these tones with the corresponding notes played on a piano and a banjo. For example: By playing a simple A-B split of the sounds issued by a clad penny and a clad dime you will hear the subtle differences between these two similar signals.

This CD is a one-of-a-kind experience and invaluable for Excalibur users both new and old. If you're asking yourself "Do I really need this CD?" just think about how you would verbally explain the differences between a nickel signal, an aluminum pulltab signal and a gold ring signal to the average metal detector user.

Listening to this CD will forever change how you hear metal detector signals and give you more insight into a simple "beep" than you ever imagined.

Minelab Explorer II Finds Old Silver Buckle - Best of Kellyco Treasure Stories

Minelab Explorer II Finds Old Silver Buckle

I’ve considered myself a Metal Detectorist for about 30 years. On and off since the 1970’s, I had given the hobby up for several years and started getting back out there in 2003. About a mile from my house, in beautiful New Hampshire, there is a farm owned by wonderful folks. It’s run full-time, ‘round year – they grow produce in the summer and Christmas trees in the winter.

Last fall they gave me permission to hunt their property and I've spent a lot of time out there. I've even found many large coppers and some really old 1700's pewter spoons. But my best find was something all together different and very, very old.

I was searching in a small patch of a garden that's not far from where the old garrison once stood on the original farm in 1650. The owner of the property often drives his tractor along the side of the corn garden to access his field, and by chance I decided to go over the area with my Minelab Explorer II.

I got a strong signal and after digging about 5" deep a silver buckle popped out. I didn't even clean the mud off until I got home, but when I did I recognized it right away. I cleaned it under running water and saw a beautiful, small silver shoe buckle that was used from 1650 to 1720. The chape and tongue design are noted in several reference books as those of the Tudor-Georgian period.

I showed the owners and they were really happy to see that piece. They’ve encouraged me to hunt the farm as often as I would like and as a gift to them I hand-painted a beautiful 1800’s bottle to display in their shop. This is the only silver buckle I have ever found there, but it is also one of the oldest pieces in my collection.

Better Than Treasure - Metal Detector Saved Paul's Life!

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 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…

Thankfully, while visiting my dad in Florida only two weeks earlier, I had purchased two Whites 6000D series metal detectors from Kellyco in Winter Springs. After cutting back the grass a little I slowly, slowly looked for the tiny screw I had lost. Within a minute I had it, reinstalled it and drove away instead of walking the 75 miles to the nearest civilization and, quite possibly, becoming another outback statistic.

Over the years my metal detectors have saved my neck countless times - and that’s the truth. I’ve even managed to find some treasure here in Australia by finding gold and old coins, hundreds of pre decimal currency coins scattered out here. I moved here permanently in April of 1984 and have never looked back at the U.S. I love it here, a mile of river frontage is close by with real fish in it and I use for bait what you take home, fishing out 25 to 40 pound fish from where the crocs and snakes live. There are also lots of furry critters and parrots of every size and color. Tropical plants abound and the flowers are so beautiful - all the tropical native fruits that come with rainforests. Even now my nearest neighbor is neither in site or earshot, but I’ve got my metal detector, and it’ll save my neck again if need be.

Minelab Sovereign G.T. Finds $800 Silver Bar!

While testing my NEW Minelab Sovereign GT metal detector with a 10" loop in my front yard, I received a signal in "All Metal" mode. I started to dig and the object detected was deep – about 24" down! Finally I hit something solid. The object was very heavy. I took it into the house, washed it off and saw what it was. Very silvery in color and so heavy. I took it to my bathroom scale and it weighted 53.4lbs.

I decided the next thing to do was have it tested. It turned out to be solid silver, worth approximately $800 on today's market. The nugget seems to have been hacked on with an axe or large knife. I live on the oldest road in the United States: Rt. 1, Philadelphia Rd. George Washington traveled this road! How the nugget got there, I do not know, but its true – treasure CAN be found right in your own yard!

1738 George II Half Penny - Found on Thanksgiving Day

1738 George II Half Penny - Found on Thanksgiving Day

As I was growing up in the town of Niantic, CT my father always took me hunting and the Thanksgiving Day Pheasant Hunt was always something special. Now my youngest son and I enjoy a different type of hunting... treasure hunting. We have been treasure hunting for about one and a half years now. The finds just seem to get better the more I learn the Minelab Explorer ways.

My son TJ loves collecting coins and has quite a nice collection. Half of the coins he has are coins we have found. Our dream is to someday find a Morgan Silver Dollar. We once found a 1906 Indian Head Penny, then a pre-1900 coin was our goal. We haven't found one yet but on Thanksgiving Day we found a 1738 George II Half Penny. It was found a short distance from our home at a place we've hunted before. When nine year old TJ removed that coin fromt he hole his eyes became as large as pie plates and he started screaming "WE'RE RICH! WE'RE RICH!"

That coin didn't make us financially wealthy but I wouldn't trade that day for any amount of money. Thanks Kellyco for making our hobby so enjoyable.

Found by T.J. from Niantic, CT

Good Reasons to Own a Metal Detector

1. Metal detecting is one of the few hobbies that really pays for itself with every day finds such as old and new coins, diamond rings, gold jewelry, valuable relics and even buried and hidden treasures. Jars of coins, metal boxes with paper money, gold coins and valuable jewelry were all buried for safekeeping and while many of them have been rediscovered with a metal detector, there's lots more still waiting to be found.

2. Searching for treasures with a metal detector has proven to be a great “stress buster” for thousands of people. Problems seem to disappear when your detector discovers a buried target. You can get away from everyone if you want solitude, or you can meet new people to join you for company.

3. Using a metal detector can be good for your health. Getting out, breathing in fresh air, and walking, as you must, to find different treasures is a great form of exercise. Plus, bending down to dig up a target is an excellent way to trim your waistline.

4. You will certainly make more friends on your quest for valuables and treasures. Many people have been interested in obtaining a metal detector and will find ways to talk to you about what you are doing, where you bought it, what you found, etc. Many of these people might also share a story or two about interesting areas they know you might find old coins or relics.

5. You'll learn about your local history and may even find yourself reading books about the area you're living in. There are probably books containing lots of historical information that go back 50 to over 100 years or more. You may even start going to the library more often.

6. Searching for treasures with metal detectors is a perfect way to get your family involved in doing an activity together. More and more families are joining metal detecting clubs, attending planned treasure hunts where there are prizes galore, and they even have special hunts for kids.

7. Metal detecting opens up interests in other hobbies. A large number of metal detector users found themselves and family members becoming enthusiastic coin collectors. And why not? A penny recently sold for $41,000! You will want to look closely at each coin you recover in coin books or online. Coins are often worth far more than face value.

8. You can now vacation closer to home. There are dozens of places of interest for metal detector users within a short drive from your home. In fact, you can start right in your own city or town. You can arrange weekends for places where people vacation and hunt for their lost coins and jewelry. Weekend camping trips gives your whole family a vacation with more places for you to use your metal detector.

9. Hundreds upon hundreds of treasures that have been lost and discarded can be discovered with a metal detector. The popular television show, Antique Road Show, has shown millions of people that treasures come in all sizes and shapes. Old toys, banks, lead soldiers, pens, watches, jewelry, literally anything you find might be an unexpected treasure. You may easily discover treasures in the ground but also in antique shops and general stores on your way or coming back from a treasure hunting outing.

10. Metal Detecting for treasures is one this countries fastest growing hobbies and has been for the last ten years. There are numerous treasure hunting clubs and groups in many cities and towns that welcome newcomers with open arms. These clubs go treasure hunting to areas that have been well researched. They have get-togethers, travel to interesting places and share their knowledge freely. If there are no clubs in your area it means you can be the first to search out all the good areas.
