WINNER #1
My first favorite international find for June 2015 is the Antoninus Pius Silver Denarius Roman Coin, discovered by Keith W. from the U.K. with his AT Pro International detector.
Keith tells us, “After many years providing for the family I decided in my retirement to return to my favourite hobby, metal detecting, or as I like to call it ‘Fertling’. My previous metal detector was the Garrett GTAx and after having it for many years I decided to upgrade to the excellent AT Pro International. I'm glad I did for after gaining permission to detect on an eight acre site the roman coins started to come along. To date I have located around fifteen bronze roman coins and just last week nailed my first ever roman silver coin. A beautiful example of an Antoninus Pius silver denarius from around 138 AD. All down to the Garrett AT Pro. Best detector I've had, cheers lads.”
Great find, Keith. Enjoy your new Pro-Pointer AT!

WINNER #2
My second favorite international find for June 2015 is the Jesuit Ring Doubleheader, discovered by Duane R. from Ontario, Canada, with his AT Pro.
Duane explains, “While detecting a brand new spot with my AT Pro I came up with not one but two Jesuit rings. They were found about 3’ apart from each other and only a few inches deep. These are the 4th & 5th Jesuit rings I’ve found with my Garrett AT Pro, but I’ve never found a doubleheader. The rings date from the mid to late 1600’s when the Jesuits were in Northern Ontario trying to convert the Objibway Indians to their religion.”
Great pair, and great history. Enjoy your new Pro-Pointer AT!

WINNER #3
My third favorite international find for June 2015 is the Hoard of 613 Romanian Middle-aged coins, discovered by Codoban A. from Romania with his AT Pro International.
Codoban states, "I’m very happy to present what I think it is my most important discovery so far: 613 Romanian middle aged coins from 13th-14th century. The coins were handed over to the Romanian History Museum and were discovered with a Garrett AT Pro International detector. They are dating from Mircea the eldest reign. That day I decided to explore together with another 2 friends a forest we wanted to visit for a long time and it seems it was a very good choice. My friends helped me uncover the coins carefully because they weigh only 0.3 grams each. Thank you Garrett once more for allowing me to discover history with my own hands."
