WINNER #1
My international favorite find for December 2018 is the Gold Byzantine Coin of Emperor Justinian 1, 518-519, found by Vadim I. from Europe with his AT Pro International.
Vadim's story: Greetings to Garrett! In April 2018, we decided to go with a friend to one interesting place, where we already used a lot of search engines. We took our metal detectors with us and drove to the intended place. Upon arrival, we saw a plowed field. We decided to scatter in different directions to cover more territory for search. 8 hours of search went like one instant, and at the end some coin fell out. Wiping it from the ground, I screamed with happiness. I called a friend and we both rejoiced at the find. It was the golden Byzantine solid of Emperor Justinian 1, 518-519. That was such a wonderful day.

WINNER #2
My second international favorite find is the
Medieval Gold Ring with Maltese Cross, found by Gabriele F. from Europe with his Ace 250.
Gabriele's story: I recently found this medieval gold ring while I was metal detecting near the walls of an old abandoned house. It's amazing if you think it could have been lost by a member of the order of saint John. The Maltese cross is so beautifully enameled and the white match perfectly with the golden yellow. The ring style is so classical and elegant that I suppose the owner was a rich priest or a nobleman. Who knows? That's the special thing about our hobby: the mysterious story behind each object. One of my best finding so far and I'm really happy.

My third international favorite find is the 1652 New England Pine Tree Silver Shilling, found by Edward T. from Canada with his AT Pro International.
Edward's story: I was out with a few friends and ankle deep in soft mud when i received a great sound. To my shock, I pulled out a silver coin and my buddy told me it was a 1652 New England pine tree silver shilling, something I have never seen before. A rare coin to find in the USA and even rarer to be discovered in Eastern Canada. It was a great day of detecting that I will never forget.
