I have found so many great things, these are some of the more special in my mind.
An inaugural coin from Harry Truman's second election.
Not the official large size but a smaller one also put out by the mint.
A very rare merchant's token from Birmingham.
Large as a half dollar, writing all over the front and back...and a date!
From research there are only 5 or less of these known to exist, I am the only one to ever put a picture of this token on the whole world wide web.
Since I am a jewelry hunter that is my goal and chains are hard to find but I managed to pick up some nice silver ones along the way, a bunch of nice silver rings, too.
Gold is and always will be the most special because it is so rare to find that in the dirt.
All found in soil, no beach hunting, and all found with 3 different detectors my Vaquero, a Compadre and most were found with my F2 because I tend to use that one the most.
Ya gotta go with what works!
