Congratulations to our International Favorite Finds winner, Bobbie J. from the UK!
Bobbie said, “The place has been well and truly searched”. However, she thought she would go back out one more time for good luck. After ground-balancing her machine and taking her first swing, she got a consistent signal reading at 60. She dug up the target and couldn't believe her eyes! It was a Celtic stater, circa 65 BC!

WINNER #1
Congratulations to our international Favorite Finds winner Angelo A. from Panama!
He went detecting with friends in an area that combined a colonial road and US military practices. He shares, "I found many colonial signs, however, the highlight of the day was a very good signal from my Garrett AT Pro. I found an insignia of the 33rd US military regiment, which was on our soil from 1916 until 1920. They explored and mapped our jungles. It was the first regiment that was on Panama soil since the beginning of the construction of the Panama Canal."

Congratulations to Connor E. for being our international Find of the Month winner! After searching an early 1800s homesite, Connor got a screaming signal on the way back to the car with his AT Pro International.
He shares, "In the hole were two identical disks with very detailed snakes on them; they looked like gold! I took them home and J Three B (Jeremiah) did some research. He discovered that I found a set of solid gold early Victorian Cloak Clasps. These two snakes would join their tails to keep a woman’s cloak closed."

Congrats to Vaughan’s Favorite Find international contest winner, Jeremy L. from Newfoundland.
Success Story: “We started our walk back to the trail off the field and I searched for that ‘one last target’ on the way. I locked onto a target that sounded so nice. It was fairly consistent in the high 60s but would also jump into the 70s and even 80s a little. ‘This is the one,’ I said. I dug my last target. I removed the top layer of sod and then carved out a nice size chunk of soil with my knife and popped it out. Sitting there almost perfectly was an absolutely stunning one-of-a-kind Love Token/Cufflink made from two gold coins: a $2 Newfoundland and an 1855 $1 US gold coin. We looked at the hole shocked.
“I had hit NL Gold, US gold, and a Love token all in one. I didn’t just hit one gold coin, but 2. The engraving is such a beautiful example. My emotions were so high that I actually ran around the field aimlessly!”
Jeremy L. WINS an ACE Apex metal detector. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
