Winner#2: Stephan R.
ACE 300i Metal Detector
My second international favorite find is the 70 B.C. Roman Republic Silver Coin, found by Stephan R. from Europe with his 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.
As I started my prospecting, I was excited to find a musket bullet. After a couple of hours of collecting nothing but bullets, I got a good, clear signal, which I thought indicated an aluminum tab from a can. Always one to do my civic duty and clean what I thought was trash out of the ground, I started digging.
As I was digging, I lost the signal, so I tried to relocate it with the pin-point function from the ACE 400i. Then, I found and located the signal again, and used my Garrett Pro-Pointer AT to 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!
