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!
