WINNER #1
My first international favorite find for July 2015 is the Silver Roman Coin Denarius-Commodus, discovered by Frentescu L. from Romania with his EuroAce.
Frentescu’s story: "Let’s go metal detecting I said to a friend of mine and off we went to an area next to my city that didn’t promise much. Just walking up into the heart of the forest, a slight sound disturbed the silence of nature. The earth didn’t let us get too easily a bullet cartridge from WW1 1913. The soil was rock-solid. Afterwards, nonferrous music enchanted my senses. A little sparkle winked at us from approximately 35 cm in the earth. A silver denarius-Commodus in all its greatness! That was the beginning…and after that…pure pieces of history: roman brooches (silver and bronze), roman axe, bronze figurines, pieces of iron from smeltering, small sculpturing tools, bronze ring, pieces of silver, pottery and many more metal objects that filled my heart with joy and 2000 years of untouched history. All objects were given to the local museum."
Frentescu L. WINS a Pro-Pointer AT!

My second favorite international favorite find for July 2015 is the Silver Roman Coin Titus, Quinarius, discovered by Paulo P. from Portugal with his AT Pro.
Paulos story: "I’ve been using Garrett for more then four years. First an Ace 150, then an AT Pro. I like it so much that i can go anywhere with it. I use it in the ocean water, sand, rivers and fields. No detector that i know of compares to this one. I had great success with it. I found more than 150 grams in gold rings, loads of coins, and this month I found a rare roman coin. I couldn’t believe it! i heard a noise that could be something good. It was not loud because most roman coins are small. It was in the middle of the roots of grass. I couldn’t believe it, I am so happy with it, to find something almost 2000 years old! An archeologist helped me identify it: Titus (A.D. 79-81), quinarius. Obv. IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M, Laureate head right. Rev.VICTORIA AVGVST, Victory seated left holding wreath and palm. RIC (1st edition) 35a, A.D. 79-80. Very scarce coin. Thank you Garrett!!"
