WINNER #1
My Favorite International find for February, 2014 is the 14th Century Cross, discovered by Bjørnar H. from Norway with his AT Pro.
Bjørnar shares with Garrett his discovery and research of this exquisite cross. “Late in October, I found this nice cross with my Garret AT Pro. It was found near a church from the Middle Ages. Archaeologists dated the cross from the medieval time, around 1300-1400 AD. It is from a time that is called "Catholic time" and has been used by either a priest or a monk. It is made of a metal called Electrum, which is a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, with trace amounts of copper. The weight of this is 30 grams.”
Bjørnar tells more. “It was found about 20 cm into the ground, in a field that is only used for animals. This finding is very rare in Norway, and it is not often that such findings are made in Scandinavia. The cross has remained in very good condition, as it has been in a very densely packed soil untouched by machines. The chain, according to experts, was hung on later and is not as old as the cross. This is the second major discovery I made with my Garrett AT Pro this year, first a Viking sword, and now this great cross which is very rare.”
What a breathtaking cross Bjørnar! I believe you’ve been blessed! Enjoy your new AT Gold!
Bjørnar WINS a Garrett AT Gold!
