WINNER #1
My favorite international find for October 2015 is the Gold Bronze Age Ring Money, discovered by Pete H. from the U.K. with his Ace 250.
Pete’s story: "Just thought I would share with you a picture of me and my son and the amazing gold bronze age ring money I found on a metal detecting rally in the UK with my 250. I have to take it to the Finds Liason Officer next week so it can be sent away to be authenticated and valued. I will be asking them to see if they can get the find published in one of the UK MD magazines. Great machine strikes again. Thanks. Pete."
Editor note: Gold Ring Money was used as currency by ancient Celtic tribes and often worn on clothing or tied together by ropes.

WINNER #2
My second favorite international find is the Half-Ounce Gold Nugget, discovered by David K. from Australia with his ATX with a 10 x 12 DD coil.
Davids story: "This half-ounce nugget is one of the most recent, and so far the largest, of thirty-five small gold nuggets taken from a productive patch that other PI detectors are apparently unable to work. The ATX is able to work the area successfully at full sensitivity, despite close proximity to power lines and a nearby booster transformer. The nugget was between 7 and 9 inches deep. Nugget number 36 comes next - if it is there somewhere in the midst of all that trash the ATX will find it!"

My third favorite international find is the set of Royal New Brunswick Regiment buttons, discovered by Brock P. from New Brunswick, Canada, with his AT Pro International.
Brock ’s story: "These buttons were found in a farm field that once saw early military activity. These belonged to the Royal New Brunswick Regiment in Canada. It was the first ever Provincial regiment, and existed from late 1700’s to 1803 when they were renamed to the Royal Fencibles. Thanks for looking!"
