WINNER #1
My international favorite find for September 2017 is the British Navy Button (Napoleon Era), found by TG H., from Norway with his AT Gold.
Tor's story: It was a rainy day and I was home after a stressful day at work. Since I have the wonderful AT Gold I decided to go detecting in the rain. Better to be outside and let the detector and the rain wash away the stress. :-) After an hour or so I found this beautiful button with gold plating. After a bit of research I found out it is from a officer from the British Navy during the Napoleon war era. It made my day. The stress was gone and I went home feeling good. ;-)
Hope you enjoy my little story and the beautiful Navy button. Best regards, TG

WINNER #2
My second international favorite find for September 2017 is the Richard III Half Angel Gold Hammered Coin, found by Michelle V. from the U.K. with her AT Pro.
Michelle's story: The day was absolutely fantastic thank you. Myself and hubby were on a charity dig in Rugby, UK, with my amazing AT Pro detector I call Robyn. Second time out with her I found an Extremely rare Richard III Half Angel gold hammered coin. I found it on a plowed field about 17 inches down. The ground was like a clay substance, quite thick. I had her on Pro mode and the target ID was 65, although a little scratchy. Apparently it's so amazing, I didn't realise what I had actually got. I'm looking into having it straightened soon. I really am excited about this coin as there hasn't been any found for many many years. Yes I was also made to do my first hammy dance.
Kind Regards, Michelle V.

WINNER #3
My third favorite international find for September 2017 is the Henry VI Gold Noble 1421, found by Simon M. from the UK, with his Ace 400i.
Simon's story: I was attending a club paid dig. Looking around there were about 40 other people, many with very expensive machines, but I was working on the theory you have to walk over it. We all started off and everyone headed in different directions. Not a lot was coming up in this field so I went to the next, and there were people everywhere. I saw a small gap and headed to the centre of the field, again not many good signals, so I headed for the next gate when I finally got a good clear signal. I dug down and there shining in the sunlight was gold! I did first think it was just a bottle top, so I flicked it out of the hole, that's when I could see for sure it was a gold hammered coin.
Find of a lifetime.
