Treasure hunters who recover relics and prospect for precious metals such as gold and silver know that research, knowledge of history and a little bit of luck are required. Coin shooters, on the other hand, know that they can take their detector out and begin finding coins almost anywhere in the world.

It’s hard to describe the thrill American coin hunters feel when they unearth a rare 1700s-era coin. Less rare, but equally exciting, to many are the countless buffaloes, liberties, Barbers and Morgans just waiting to be discovered. For the young beginners that first modern nickel from the school playground can bring a rush of excitement that may forever hook them into the sport of coin shooting.
