Metal Detectors Super Store

Almost exactly a year ago from this time, I purchased a new Minelab Explorer II Pro detector from Kellyco. I persuaded my neighbor to also purchase one like it. Glenn was the salesperson and he was very friendly and helpful. Since I have learned more about how to use it, I have been successful locating things in so called hunted out places. I am especially pleased with the depth that it reaches.

After the storms hit Daytona Beach recently, my wife and I decided to try our luck at metal detecting there since we heard they were finding a lot of silver coins. I recently retired and always before, by the time I got to the beach, most of the good things were covered with sand or already discovered. I have been metal detecting since 1985 and this was the most pleasurable and profitable trip I have ever had. The very first coin I dug up was a silver quarter and it happened to be from my birth year. I told my wife then that I had a feeling in my bones this was going to be my lucky trip. We were at the beach for five days and each day was fantastic when the weather permitted me to detect. I dug hundreds of newer coins as well as the silver ones I originally went for.

I have attached a picture of the silver coins as well as a class ring I found on the third day. It was dated 1964 and from a high school in North Florida. The ring was in absolutely mint perfect condition. It took me a few weeks to locate the owner but we finally got together and I returned his lost ring. He said he and three other boys from the high school basketball team were in Daytona in the year 1965 on spring break and he told me almost exactly where he lost, and I found the ring. He remembers taking it off and laying it on the back of his car so he would not lose it. Unfortunately, they drove off and the ring was forgotten until later. The beach was eroded several feet lower than normal and the ring was still almost a foot deep when I detected it. The ring was lost for nearly 39 years. The owner is now a schoolteacher in South Georgia and was elated to get it back. Of course it did not fit him now but he is going to pass it on to his son as a family keepsake. It really gave my wife and I a good feeling inside when we returned it to the rightful owner.

The total silver tally was 44 dimes, 14 quarters, 4 half dollars and dozens of wheat pennies. I don’t know if I will ever top this trip, I can only dream!!

P.S. Keep up the great work Kellyco, it is always a pleasure working with you folks.
