Winner#1
My favorite international find for February 2015 is the Gold Celtic Quarter Stater, discovered by Chris B. from Fareham, England.Chris gives us his story. “I have just started metal detecting, approx. 6 months now, with my trusty Ace 250. I have gained a small permission in Hampshire, England. I have found quite a few old coins and interesting items, but on my last outing I found a very rare Celtic gold quarter stater! Only 13 recorded examples, 14 now he he. The coin dates to 50 BC and comes from a tribe called the Atrebates. They ruled southern England with a king named Commios, who was a friend of Ceasar. Thank you so much for opening me up to England’s wonderful history. Happy Hunting Everyone.”
Way to go Chris! Lovely gold.
