WINNER #1
My U.S. favorite find for May 2019 is the Civil War bullet spill, found by Scott M. from Alabama with his AT Pro.
Scott's story: Last week, I went out searching for a new permission because I have been on a several month dry spell and had zero luck. I eventually gave up and decided to go to a permission I had detected a couple of years ago when I first started detecting. Luckily, the woman was home and gave me the green light. My first hole was a solid high 60s signal and to my delight it was my first minie ball in almost a year. I stuck my Pro-Pointer back in the hole to double-check it, and it was still going crazy. I stuck my shovel in and 2 more fell out. After 30 minutes of digging I ended up with 78 out of one hole!
That is more Civil War bullets than I have found in the last 3 years!

WINNER #2
My second U.S. favorite find is the 1787 "Club Ray" Fugio cent, found by Gary H. from Vermont.
Gary's story: "I was hunting at an old farmhouse built in 1775 in Southern Vermont. I got an 85 high tone on my AT Max. I dug the signal and out came a 1787 Club Ray Fugio."
Gary's find of the fugio cent, the first official copper penny of the United States, was not his only great find of the day. He adds, "I walked 75 feet away and received another high tone. Dug a 1776 1-Reale with my AT Max within 15 Minutes. The AT Max is an incredible metal detector."
