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.

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..."

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. Click here for more stories and how to find out about treasures where you live.

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."

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. Click here to read about the condition of this button and see a larger photo. 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.
