WINNER #1
My International favorite find is the hoard of 50 silver coins from the Danish Monarch Christian IV, 1586-1656, discovered by Bjorn S., Heinrich O., Lars H., and Simon K. from Denmark with their AT Pro’s.
Bjorn’s story: “Hello, I just wanted to share this awesome story of how me and 3 friends found a 1500 and 1600 century silver coin treasure this Christmas with our Garrett AT Pro metal detectors. Thank you for great detectors!! :-D” (Translated and edited article). An elderly lady told one of the four men a centuries-old legend that there would be a silver treasure in a certain area of a field outside Herning. As the legend would prove true, the four men with metal detectors started looking on December 27th, and over 2 to 3 days they found 50 silver cons from the period 1586-1656. Initially one of the friends found a large silver coin, while the rest of the responses were aluminum waste. But as the team was looking on, more and more silver coins appeared in the muddy soil, which all exhibited Christian IV. The local museum was jubilant, and Guanteng Museum’s curator Martin Olesen believes the coins in the society had great value. Total weight found about 850 grams.

WINNER #2
My second International favorite find is the Hoard of 7 Gold Coins: écu au soleil Louis XII, escudos Philipp II d’espagne, Demi-écu à la couronne, discovered by Harreau L. from France with his Ace 250.
Harreau’s story: “Hello to all. It was a moment on Sunday, 17 January, a winter sun motivated me. After a detection time a sound came. I make a hole with my Garrett digger and have the joy of discovering what a beautiful coin, a shield of the sun. I pass the detector and it still sounds, and find two other coins, gold escudos. Wanting to continue my path in this beautiful forest, I made my 2 meters and detector still yells at me “corners, corners.” Amazed I discover three escudos of crowns and a half crown. The sun goes down and the day ends with these great finds.”
