My international favorite find for April 2019 is the1800年的法国金币囤积居奇, found by Davide F. from Europe with his王牌250

Davide’s success story: It was a cold Sunday afternoon, I was prospecting a small forest located near a road and a residential complex. It started to rain, and besides endless pull tabs, nothing was happening. I was about to leave for home and decided to detect back towards the car. While scanning a small slope, I was alerted by a shower of very clear signals. Already after the first hole, I saw something round and yellow. I also noticed some very clean round impressions in the dirt. It was clear that those were coins. I had that idea in my mind for several long seconds, until I put my hand on one of them. They were 3 gold coins: 20 Francs. My mouth was dry, time stopped still.

I remember digging and seeing gold coming out of the ground. I ended the day in total shock, with a grand total of 148 Gold 20 Francs coins, issued between 1870 to 1897. It was just another, random day of metal detecting when my life changed forever. The emotions I felt, the story I hold in my heart is priceless. Thanks to my yellow friend theACE 250and to Garrett.

我最喜欢的国际发现2020年3月是200 AD Gold and Amber Stone Roman Ring, found by Stig B. from Europe with hisAce 300i

Stig’s story: Awesome. Historical find with Garrett 300i. I found the ring at the evening March 21st, after 2 hours of searching. The signal was good and clear so I expected a coin. I digged about 25cm and it popped right out of the chunk of soil. I got amazed, you can tell right away is gold in the dark soil! This was found with my300i, but I had my AT Max in the car because I just bought it and haven't tried it out allot yet. :)

The ring itself is pure gold with amber stone, about 2cm in length. The archeologists in NTNU Trondheim dates it to year 200, age of Rome.

Regards, Stig

My second international favorite find is the公元前70罗马共和国银币从欧洲发现史蒂芬R.与他Ace 400i

Stephan’s success story: After convincing my wife that I needed some ‘me‘ time, I went out on a new patch of land to see what I could find. I knew from my research that a battle from the French Wars around the start of the 1800’s had taken place there.

当我开始我的探矿,我很高兴能找到一个步枪子弹。一对夫妇的收集只是子弹小时后,我得到了一个很好的,明确的信号,我认为从表示罐的铝标签。总有一个做我的公民义务,清理了我认为是垃圾掉在了地上,我就开始挖。

As I was digging, I lost the signal, so I tried to relocate it with the pin-point function from theACE 400i。Then, I found and located the signal again, and used my GarrettPro-Pointer ATto zone in on my object, which I then found. It was flat, round and silver, so I thought ‘Yeah, it’s a pull-tab‘. I wiped the dirt off, and I saw that it had no hole in the middle. Then I looked closer, and I recognized that it was a coin. After a closer look, I saw legs and a horse. I immediately stopped rubbing the coin, in order to avoid damage.

I brought it home, cleaned it properly, and did a little research. What I found was a Roman Republic silver coin from around 79 B.C.!! Definitely a once in a lifetime find!

我的第一个国际最喜欢找十一月2019的Silver Hoard of 177 Coins, found by Co B. from Europe with hisAT Max

Co’s story: Finding a silver hoard. It all started when I got a call from a carpenter I sometimes work with. He told me he found a big silver coin in his garden. And he knew I was into metal detecting so he asked if I knew how to clean the coin. And if I wanted, I could go over the ground with my metal detector to see if I could find one for myself. The coin he found was a silver Dukaat from 1794.

So I started metal detecting in the garden and after 1 minute I found another big silver coin. It was a 3 Gulden from late 1700’s. I was already over the moon by this find and started detecting a bit more. One after another came out of the ground. It took me 4 evenings and one day in total to get all the coins out of the ground. And ended up with a load of silver coins. 177 coins in total. All 1600's and 1700's silver. I dug them all up with my GarrettAT MAX。Still can't believe it. It's something you always dream of finding. I feel very lucky to have found this silver hoard.

With kind regards, Co.

我的第三个国际最喜爱的查找2019八月是Gold Fortuna Pendant, found by Wayne H. from Alberta, Canada, with hisAT Gold

Wayne's story: As there are not a lot of historical areas where I live, I was out in a school soccer field one afternoon with myAT GoldDetector. I usually find coins, some rings, various other items. I suddenly picked up a strong but jumpy signal. Dropping down on my knees and using my pin-pointer, I started narrowing down the area. Something shiny was emerging. I thought oh another Loonie (Canadian $1.00 coin) but when I pulled it out it was a gold colored pendant with a female image on it. As I flipped it over I read, Suisse 5g Fine Gold 999.9. I was completely amazed, I had found a pure gold pendant. Upon researching the image I found out it was of the Roman goddess Fortuna (goddess of fortune). Fortunate for me, and by far my greatest find ever. Thanks Garrett for an incredible machine!
