The sun finally warmed up the beach down here on the east coast of Florida and I had to get out there and try and find some gold, so I took my trusty Minelab Excalibur and starting searching.
The beach was crowded today but nothing compared to what it will be like soon. The sun was nice and warm and there was a slight breeze that made it a bit chilly for me. I hunted the beach with my Minelab Excalibur for a few hours. I found quite a few coins and then I got a good signal and started digging.
Out pops this small golden flower.

Sometimes doing a little bit of research can help you find old treasure and that’s just what I did and My Garret Ace 250 found a first.
I love searching for and finding old coins, you could call it a hobby, addiction or obsession it doesn’t really matter. The fact is I enjoy collecting coins and finding a nice old coin with your Metal detector is a blast. They do make metal detectors that specialize in finding coins but my Garrett ACE 250 seems to get the job done quite well.
I did some research on a local area that I know has a little bit of history. I used my computer to locate a historic area that I hoped had not been cleaned out. It was a strip of old railroad track that had at one time been a railroad station. I also asked some locals that had been around for a while about this area and they told me what I wanted to hear and that was that at one point in time there was a railroad station that was the central hub of this small town and it has long since been gone.
Upon arrival, I noticed that all that was left of the station were the train tracks. There was no building foundations or any signs that a train station had ever existed. I cranked on my Garrett ACE 250 and started working the area over. It wasn’t long before I got my first signal. The LCD screen said it was a nickel just a few inches deep. I dug a small plug and pulled out the nickel. It wasn’t old. I put it in my pouch and continued my search. I worked my way closer to the tracks. I searched for a long time and right when I was about to give up, I got a faint signal. The LCD screen said it was a penny at over 8 inches deep. I will dig up anything even pennies because you never know. I dug a plug and searched the hole. No beep. The coin must be in the plug. I carefully pulled the small plug of earth apart and out pops an INDIAN HEAD PENNY! See it helps to do a little bit of research!
