WINNER #1
My international favorite finds for July 2019 are the Two Gold Coins in the Same Hole, found by Warren H. from the UK with his AT Max.
Warren's story: I was out in well-coiled fields on Friday the 19th of July, It had just started raining and I was making my way back to the gate and home for the day. I picked up a strong but jumpy signal on my trusty AT Max and decide to give it one more before the heavens opened.
I nearly fell over with shock when I saw a yellow gleam and shakily retrieved an amazing 1877 Half Sovereign with Victoria's head staring at me. Resisting the urge to clean it I carefully put it away and did what every good detectorist should 'check the hole'.
Imagine the look of shock on my face when I had another strong signal. A few seconds later I had in my hand an 1872 Full Sovereign! 2 golds, one hole. When does that EVER happen?
Here's hoping it happens again soon. Thanks Garrett! Amazing machine and crossed 2 items off my wish list in less than 12 months of detecting!

WINNER #2
My second international favorite find for July 2019 is the New Zealand Ring, found by Leigh H. from New Zealand with his Ace 400i.
Leigh's story: My best find so far! I found it on a beach in New Zealand this month. I was using my Garrett Ace 400i. I was amazed how deep this was on the beach and when my wife and I dug it out it was unrecognisable as it was encrusted in a black type of rock like material. We took it home and carefully removed the crusty material to reveal this ring. It looks very old and hand made from some type of bronze or copper.
I intend to research its history if possible. It was so exiting to find something so unusual. We are relatively new to metal detecting and it has spurred us on to do more. I have just purchased a Garrett Sea Hunter as the beach is our favourite place to search and it works great.
