WINNER #1
My international favorite find for April 2020 is the 1800's French Gold Coins Hoard, found by Davide F. from Europe with his Ace 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 the ACE 250 and to Garrett.
