WINNER #1
My first favorite find is the 1789 George Washington Inaugural Button, found by Jason R. from Blaine, MN.
Jason shares his story of discovery. "I recently purchased a Garrett AT Pro and Pro-Pointer. From the very first use, I have enjoyed these products in every aspect. They are easy to use and I have had great results. On a recent vacation to Massachusetts, I found what I consider to be my best find ever! I identified a site with historical significance and quickly confirmed this by finding coins including two US Draped Bust pennies, a British King George II half penny, a belt buckle, and ten buttons, all circa mid-1700's to early 1800's. But the prize was this George Washington Inaugural button from 1789. Research has indicated this button to be one of the more rare varieties of the 26 known varieties. So rare, only ten specimens are known to exist. Auctions have brought anywhere from $1,500-$5,000 for this variety! However for me, it's priceless. Thank you Garrett for providing the means to find such an awesome piece of history!"
Jason R. WINS a Garrett PRO-POINTER®!

WINNER #2
My second favorite find is the 1812 Capped Bust 50 Cent Piece, found by Eric P. from Lewisburg, PA.
Eric shares his excitement. "I was hunting a road tear-out in an old town. I did probably three-quarters of the tear-out and found a few large cents and some Indian heads but no silver. I just kept thinking there has to be some silver, then I got high pitch 91 on my AT Pro at 2 inches. It was the best high tone I got the whole time I was there when the 1812 Capped Bust 50 cent piece popped out of the ground! I could not believe my eyes! It is the best find since I started metal detecting. The AT Pro has been great for me!"

WINNER #3
My third favorite find is the Union Cavalry Sword, discovered by John G. from Timberlake, NC. with his AT Pro.
John states, "Searching a stream near a battlefield, I found this portion of a Union Cavalry Sword in about 12 inches of water and 8 inches of mud under that. The mud preserved it in great condition! There is even a piece of a leather strap still tied to the scabbard ring."
