WINNER #1
My favorite international find for July, 2013 is the Middle Bronze Age Bracelet, unearthed by Gerd M. from Baveria, Germany with his Ace 250.
“Well this morning it stopped raining and I had about one hour time to do a test run over one of my permissions”, Gerd states.“It started with the usual finds in my area, a WWII cartridge, Ox shoe, a 1903 coin, and then on the last test row…a Bronze Age bracelet! (But I did not recognize it at the time due to the dirt).”
Gerd continues as time is running out. “Finished the line in one direction and turned around to do the other side of the line. On about the same height, wow, another great signal! Made my plug, and out popped another bracelet which looked like bone fragments. At this point it dawned on me that this is an historical find and needs to be secured for the Heritage Office to take over.” Gerd recorded the coordinates on GPS, took pictures and a made a finds log with the Baverian Heritage.
“The next day I got the information that the Bronze Age bracelet was predicated to be from 1500 B.C. Middle Bronze Age, and the other one from the same period, Gerd says. “The bracelets will be picked up this Wednesday, June 5 to get preserved. How it goes on from here I don’t know as it’s my first find of this National importance.”
Great job! Thanks Gerd for submitting your story!
