I recently took up metal detecting again after a 15-year absence as it is something I was always fascinated by, but having three young children meant that I never had the time to pursue it . The kids are now older so I bought myself a popular beginners machine and joined a group and set [...]

Thanks Minelab for another great find and another happy person! After returning the silver and platinum class ring that had been missing for 31 years back in November, I was contacted by a woman who wanted to know if I would be willing to try and locate her son's missing class ring, which had been [...]

My find of a lifetime! I found this in a field that I have detected many times over the years, and I have came away with a lot of great coins, buttons, etc. including some British coins and a 1798 large cent but nothing of this caliber. More... From Minelab Success Stories

Made it back to the old schoolyard for a couple more hours. 3 more silver dimes and a silver war nickel. 7 more wheats and another buffalo. The silver ring looks to be very old. My favorite from this hunt is the old padlock. More... From Minelab Success Stories

After being sick for eight days and seeing the forecast was calling for a beautiful day, I decided to take a trip down to Lewes, DE and try my luck. While my wife Sandi relaxed on a beach chair by the water, I started down the beach with my trusty E-TRAC with a freshly charged Lithium battery. [...]

There was a break in the weather, the sun was shining and I decided to take the CTX 3030 to an area in the local woods that I had previously searched with the E-TRAC and had found some nice Victorian silvers here. But they came at a price due to some modern dumping and it was difficult to search [...]

In a local park I found a silver Victoria 1879 six pence and is still my oldest coin find! Jordan - NSW, Australia More... From Minelab Success Stories

I'm a 13 year old boy and with my new X-TERRA 305 I went near a old town hall and found an 1800's mini ball bullet in Australia. Jordan - NSW, Australia More... From Minelab Success Stories

I had turned down a 5 figure offer for this plate with weeks of its recovery. I hope this find boost's Minelab sales. I am a Minelab user for life! Bobby - VA, USA More... From Minelab Success Stories

Hi, I went out with a couple of friends just for a couple of hours after work one night, and we were on one of my favourite permissions. We didn't have a lot of finds, just the odd penny and half penny pieces of lead and buttons, and at this point was happy enough with [...]

Before I get to my twice-found key date Wheat penny, let me give you a little of my back story. I was in an auto accident in 1996 in which I was ejected from my truck. I broke my neck, and I am paralyzed from the chest down. My right arm is completely paralyzed as [...]

One day like any other day, I went wandering around with my CTX 3030 on a spot (very much hunted area) which already have given me quite a lot of money and objects of all ages. This location is heavily polluted because of the sludge coming from the river. More... From Minelab Success Stories

I haven't had many opportunities to go detecting this year, been way to busy with overtime and work around the house. However I've made sure this will go down as probably my best year detecting ever. So far I've found a 1857 half dime, an 1864 2 cent piece, a flying eagle cent, and an [...]

It was my 4th hunt with my Excalibur II in waist deep salt water in a very busy beach in Cyprus when I heard this exclusive deep sound of the Excalibur II which suggested that something interesting was down there. I used my Sunspot 720 stealth scoop and while the fine sand was leaving the scoop, I [...]

On a hot warm afternoon in sunny field in the Gloucestershire country side, on a large field I managed to get permission on the night before talking to the farmer over an ice cold pint of cider, I left my coat on fence post as the sun was shining so hot. As I walked around [...]

The other day, Steve and I were invited to search a site by our good friend Jason. The site in question has revealed mainly Roman coins but also a few Celtic ones and several related artefacts. The field is strewn with cobble stones and fragments of ancient pottery which certainly does raise the old enthusiasm [...]

Got permission to hunt an old school yard that has been private property a number of years now. The owner said "poke around all ya want but a couple other guys been through it and said they didn't find much". Said thanks thinking to myself they probably didn't have an E-TRAC or my patience. Was only there [...]

I went to my brothers house for another cookout today, and his kids wanted to detect some. After we eat some grub we hit the yard swinging. I only had about 25 min. to hunt it was getting dark and the bugs were out. This was the 3rd target came up a solid 12-47 on [...]
