My international favorite find for May 2020 is the Pope Julius II Papal Bull Seal, found by Jean-Philippe L. from Europe with his AT Pro.
Jean-Philippe’s story: Hello Garrett family! I left that day with my AT Pro to make a meadow along a river. About 200 meters away, according to the history of my village, was a strong castle which completely disappeared in the 1800s. The finds are there, some musket balls and some old used coins... suddenly a good sound as we like! I dig, I dig and at 30cm at the end, the target! At the time, I saw immediately that it was a piece of very muddy lead… I take it anyway. I will see the cleaning, and this magnificent papal seal appeared! A very very rare object to find which at the time announced news or a papal order!
Pope JULIUS II, elected November 1, 1503, died February 21, 1513.
I did research on this pope who in his time made a lot of talk about him! He showed himself the generous and intelligent protector of letters and the arts. He entrusted construction of the Basilica of Saint Peter to Bramante (architect). It gave the city of Rome a new and magnificent appearance, and history associates its name with the works of Bramante, Michelangelo and Raphael. Thank you for reading, and strongly the new GARRETT APEX !!!
