What's the most valuable thing you've found?

What's the most valuable thing you've ever found? How much was it worth? Did you sell?

I know the condition can effect the value of a lot of those coins coming out of the ground badly.

I find peace of mind and relaxation every time I detect. Can't be sold!

My thoughts exactly, plus I've met some really good guys that are as crazy about detecting as i am.

14K 8.3gram Mens gold band (Domed). Yep. Sold it.

Went toward a new detector.

"Shhhhhhh." To quote Karl vonMueller (Charlie Miller). Never talk about your found treasure. Kind of a paradox on this website, though.

But I will say it wasn't with a metal detector. ;-)

THE ADMIRAL found me so I don't have to say she was my best find. 35th anniversary in three months - two years prior to that she tackled me while I was playing Frisbee Football on campus . . . and she wasn't on either team! Feisty!

Best find I'll discuss was a sailboat. We were in ours and could see another sailboat rounding up into the wind repeatedly with the sail flogging and falling off to repeat the process. I though that he'd lost his rudder or had some equipment failure so we caught up to the boat. Not a soul aboard. Oh oh.

So I looked at how the sails were set (close hauled), dropped them and secured the boat and let it drift and started sailing upwind. Sure enough we found a man treading water about two miles away with no life preserver. Standing on the transom to answer nature's call he lost his footing. Could have gone VERY badly for him.

I have found a few of those myself...
both above AND below water.

With metal detecting I've found a way to hang on to what's left of my sanity which at one point in my life was about ready to slip away. That's worth more than the material things that I've gained from it. It's also one more thing that I can get my kids involved in to keep them outdoors. Material things are nice and finding them is still always my main goal when I go out but I've come to appreciate the hunt almost as much.

It's the doing that is the fun. The things you find are great. But like fishing it is the getting out and clearing your head. The kind of meditation that makes it so fun. A new site is exciting. Not knowing what is there, but the promise that it may have in store. The research and history. To swing over a new piece of ground. That is why you can read others stories and become inspired. But you are the master of the ground you cover. My F5 patiently waits in the corner for the ground to thaw so I can take it out and find new treasures and a lot of trash and have stories to tell. Sure there will be those that have banner finds. They happen every week. But if you have a bounty hunter or a CTX 3030 you are out there doing the same thing as me every day.

What's the most valuable thing I've found? That's hard to say. There are so many!
