WINNER #1
My first Favorite International find for December 2012 is the Blue Enameled Fibula Head Stud Brooch. John W. from Rosyth, Scotland discovered his dream find using his Ace 250 which he received for Christmas from his wife last year. After many months of practice yielding over 500 coins, John was granted permission to hunt a large estate.
John shares his excitement. “I got a loud solid signal. Expecting another coin I dug down six inches to discover a stunning Roman fibula head stud brooch at least 1,500 years old! Despite its age it is stunning. I informed the treasure trove officer here as required by law, and they say the find is of major historical significance and the brooch is taken into their care for preservation and cleaning. It is now officially been declared ancient treasure and will be put on display in the museum of Scotland for all to see, with my name attached as finder. Never when I got the Garrett ten months ago did I think for a second I would soon be holding something so old and beautiful in my hands. Happy with my detector just doesn’t say enough!”
Excellent discovery John W! Thank you for submitting your story.
John W. WINS a Garrett PRO-POINTER®!

WINNER #2
My second Favorite International find for December 2012 is the Ancient Czech Republic Copper Axe. Roman C. from the Czech Republic discovered a real trophy using his Euro Ace.
Roman states, “In the woods of Wallachia Region in Czech Republic, I found an ancient copper axe about 40 cm deep! The axe was donated to the regional Wallachian Museum in Vsetin. Archeologist Dr. Eva Cermakova examined this object and determined that is a copper axe, estimated 4,200 to 6,500 year old! This makes this the oldest metal tool found in the region and perhaps the Czech Republic! With this note I want to thank Garrett for enabling me to fulfill my dream about finding a real treasure.”
Great discovery Roman C! Thank you for submitting your story.
