If you have a particularly great find, let the manufacturer of your metal detector know!
Some will reward you for your finds.

White's Electronics:
We are always interested in a good metal detector treasure story. Family outings, a vacation hunt that paid for the trip, a backyard with a history! Mention the metal detector, how deep was the find, and any other interesting details. Include a few pictures of yourself and the treasure.

White's will use stories and pictures not only on their web site but also on marketing materials such as calendars, sale slicks, catalogs, and more. Last I knew was that if they accepted your story they would send you a $100 gift certificates good for ordering merchandise off of their web site. This is good towards coils, batteries, chargers, shirts, hats, jackets, digging tools, and more.

Garrett Metal Detectors:
Garrett isn't quite as generous, but they do offer items for stories such as a Charles Garrett book, a Garrett shirt or cap, or if your item is the find of the month you could win a new Pro-Pointer.
More information can be found on the Garrett web site (http://www.garrett.com/hobbysite/hbby_submit_a_story.aspx)

Of course, you should put in some good marketing blurbs such as Thank you for making such a great detector! or something equally good to use in marketing materials. thumbsup01
If you know of other manufacturers that reward for good stories please add them to the thread!
