The most valuable find!

[The Urban Prospector]

Everybody is curious as to what the heck us "metal detectorists" are doing. Without fail THE #1 question that I am asked is, "What is the most valuable thing you have ever found?" So.....I thought it would be fun and interesting to ask all of you that very question.

What is the most valuable item you have ever found?

14k ring with 19 diamonds. Found at a old church camp. Was surprised all of them were still in it.

Love seeing those rings!

Had a few good one's over the years from a US Senator's ring to A gold coin ring but this is my best.

2 carat Platinum. Valued at 23 to 27 thousand

HOLY SMOKES! THE HOLY GRAIL!!
That ring is amazing! Congratulations. I just showed my wife these rings and she said..."What are you doing here? Go get me one!!" Man am I glad I started this thread

I appreciate this not because it's bragging, but because it is massively encouraging.

Great thread guys! Just found a 1652 Pine Tree Shilling and I'm still waiting on a value. I would never sell it anyway but it's fun to know what your finds are worth

Never used a detector yet... hoping to change that soon.
But, without it...
My "most valuable find" was a $100.00 bill!
It was half covered in dirt, and I almost didn't see it.
I picked it up, and looked for the watermarks... so happy they were there!

Urban Pro ...I appreciate this not because it's bragging, but because it is massively encouraging.

I agree there are times I'm like..it's to cold outside.. so then I look at a few finds posted.. Bam, That's all it takes, that little push to get me up and out. Even I find very little I am still Happy I went, It's Good for the Body, Soul and Mind.

14k with 14 diamonds. Haven't gotten it appraised yet.

I consider my most valuable finds to be some sites, as opposed to actual relics. Every year is a fresh possibility.

double.

I bet it's worth a lot more than that to you! And trust me, that counts for a lot. Keep going out and having fun and you will hit a valuable one some day. Persistence pays off and enjoy every second while you're doing it

Naaa, this isn't intended to be a sword fight in the locker room, but when we all can look and hear what our fellow detectorists are pulling out of the ground it is sooo encouraging. Just to know that the next target I swing over could be worth $25,000 is pretty awesome.

Your Barber dime is worth a lot more than mine by the way. My only hope of finding such a specimen around my parts is if some collector happens to drop one! I guarantee you that if you research your hiney off and get out there every opportunity you get, your turn will come! And WHEN it does, be sure to let us all know. Take care and HH!

Yeah it is not a ring, or diamonds but it is the most valuable thing I have found. Copper celt, 3000-5000 years old. Was asked by a few to donate it to a few different museums. Sold it. It paid for my detector at the time and then some. Best part about this find is my dad was with me.
