WINNER #1
My international favorite find for October 2019 is the Centenary of Colonisation Medallion 1888, found by Jacob B. from Australia with his AT Pro International.
Jacob's story: I found this medallion deep in the Australian bush at the homesite of an 1880's coal miner.
I only recently acquired the AT Pro International which means I am still getting used to all the tones and target ID's. However, I got a solid 80 signal only at 5cm. I brushed away the leaf litter to reveal the medallion sitting on the top of the dirt. The medallion was issued in 1888 and commemorates the centenary of the colonisation of Australia. The front features Captain Cook, who originally settled Australia in 1788, and the back shows an old map of Australia and its colonies, before federation. Nowadays places such as 'North Australia' no longer exist.
This is definitely one of my best finds to date!
