Jan / FEB – USA Winner
While relic hunting a private horse farm near Falmouth and Fredericksburg, Virginia, the finds were already good with bullets and relics coming up. Then a strong signal about 8 inches down revealed something special for Mike. He discovered a pre-Civil War sword belt plate found with his AT Max!
He said, “It took a while for my heart to slow down after that one. At 73 years old, I’m still out there swinging every chance I get. Growing up in the heart of so much history makes every hunt feel like stepping back in time.”

Jan / FEB – Vortex Winner
Brian hunted this 1898 Victorian home in Oregon City, Oregon many times, but after adding the 5×8 Ripper coil to his Vortex VX9 arsenal, he went back to tackle the heavy iron. A 65-signal mixed in with the trash led to a tiny, thin silver coin about 6 inches down… an 1872 Moroccan silver Dirham from the reign of Sultan Sidi Mohammad appeared! He writes, “Older than the house itself and somehow making its way all the way to Oregon. Finds like this are why we keep going back. The Vortex VX9 + Ripper coil combo delivered!”

Jan / FEB – International Winner
While detecting a local forest with his Garrett Apex, Gabriel got a very deep signal about 30 minutes into the hunt. The first dig revealed an ancient silver coin… then another signal from the same hole… and then another. He said, ” I found three silver tetradrachms of King Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, seeing daylight again after 2,300 years. An unforgettable moment made possible with the mighty Apex.”
