WINNER #1
My international favorite find for January 2018 is the 4,500 kg Silver Russian Treasure, found by Potapov E. from Russia with his Ace 250 (he called his workhorse).
Potapov's story: It was in late August 2017. The month was rainy, it was an ordinary day, far to go didn't want, but take heart wanted. Decided to go to a place known to me for a long time…at first very many finds, and sometimes very worthy. When we reached the place, collecting gear, as luck would have it, it began to rain and nasty cold, but since it was a wooded area, it was tolerated and we decided to stay and continue. Took about 2-3 hours and decided to move to the exit, and the findings were, as they say, the soul took. There at the exit, on the slope of a hill, resting on the bench, it was possible to imagine the way things were in those days because this place is very rich in its history. It is possible to feel the Korean special forces.
Dig out about a bayonet spade, and to my eyes appeared unseen coins (later revealed to be the Dirhams and different Khans: Tahtamysha, Khan Uzbek, Khan, Gulistan, Berdibek Culpa, Tokta. Also met Dirhams with the Tamgha of House of Batu.) The treasure turned out to be 160 PCs. And then I saw the stick (Novgorod Hryvnia and Poltina, one half was with the Tamgha of House of Batu). Then turned 36 bars (5 Hryvnia and 31 Poltina). Treasure weighs 4,500 kg! I hope you enjoy my story!!!!

WINNER #2
My second international favorite find for January 2018 is the 40 BC Commios "Lawrence" Gold Stater, found by Martin B. from the UK with his Ace 400i.
Martin's story: I have been detecting for about 2 years now with not a lot of success, only 2 coins found. Having had my Garrett Ace 400i for almost a year now upgraded from the ACE 250. I attended a rally in Chichester with my local club "midweek searchers" on 6th jan this year, first of the year for me. We all lined up at the given start point ready for the off. I had only walked 7 paces when I had my first signal…boom a 40BC Commios "Lawrence" Gold Stater! My joy at finding my first gold coin was awesome and could not wait to show the rest of the group. The rest of the days detecting was a blur. Many thanks Garrett.
