Garrett Metal Detectors

One cold afternoon near an old hacienda, Saul’s Apex locked onto a clear, repeatable signal through heavily mineralized soil. Carefully digging, he uncovered a worn silver coin dated 1732. It wasn’t gold, but in that moment it felt priceless. Holding a coin that had passed through hands nearly 300 years ago reminded him why he loves this hobby.

He said, “Growing up in Guanajuato, a place rich with stories and centuries of history, I’ve learned that every signal has the potential to uncover something much greater than treasure. Every relic, every coin, every artifact is a voice from the past waiting to be heard again. That’s the real reward of detecting. Not the value of the find, but the history it preserves. The Garrett Apex continues to be my compass through the hills and hidden stories of Guanajuato, helping me bring forgotten pieces of history back into the light.”

Using his Garrett AT Pro, Patryk recovered an incredible silver coin dating back to 1308! What surprised him most was that the coin is beautifully preserved, with clear details still visible after more than 700 years.

He said, “The find came from an area close to high-voltage lines, a place many detectorists would avoid, but the AT Pro handled the challenge and delivered. Proof that even after all these years, this detector still knows how to find history.

Sometimes the best permissions are right in your own backyard🙌🤩

With only a little time to hunt, Mark M. took his wife’s advice and headed into the woods behind their home with the Vortex VX9 and Viper coil. About 30 minutes in, a small but promising 65–68 signal stopped him. Just a few inches down, what first looked like a button turned into something far better. After brushing away the dirt, he was staring at an 1857 Seated Liberty Half Dime!

He said, “It’s amazing to think that a piece of history like this was hiding just beyond my back door all along. Safe to say, I’ll be heading back into those woods very soon.”
