WINNER #1
My Favorite International find for December 2013 is the 12th Century Reliquary Cross, discovered by Dragos S. from Romania with his AT Pro International.
Dragos tells Garrett, “Today was a great day for metal detecting! Me and my two friends chose to search a forest outside of a restricted area. I came across an old road that was covered with stone and quite trodden. At the first signal, my AT Pro detector gave a very strong signal about 20cm, where I found a cross, and not any ordinary cross but a 12th century bronze cast reliquary cross! I am very happy for this find because crosses are very rare and I had the opportunity to find something like this. The cross was donated to the museum across our city.”
This lovely detailed cross with hinges has survived the ages of time, and still functions to reveal the hidden compartment. Extraordinary find. Congratulations Dragos!
Dragos S. WINS a Garrett PRO-POINTER®!
