Believe it or not, this forum turns ten years old today! It was founded on October 21, 2009 by angellionel and Epi-hunter.
In an age where forums are regularly disappearing due to Facebook and other social media, we have managed to stay relevant thanks to loyal members like you!
The staff of American Detectorist wishes to thank all of you who contribute to our little corner of the internet, whether you post regularly or just lurk. We wouldn't be here without you!

I thought it would be fun to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the forum by posting your all-time favorite find in this thread. It doesn't matter if it's a coin, relic, jewelry or "other". Post a short story about your find or just a photo. Try to narrow it down to just one find though.
Or, if you don't want to post your favorite find just say "hi" to let us all know you're still around!
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE!
