WINNER #1
My favorite international find for September 2018 is the Silver Coin Hoard and Gold, found by Ben B. from the U.K. with his AT Pro International.
Ben's story: I had arranged to meet my detecting buddy on farmland I had recently obtained permission to detect. Whilst walking up the hill to the location we had arranged to meet, I happened to noticed a church spire in the distance and decided to switch on my AT Pro. I was about 1 mile from where I was supposed to be but just had a feeling. I had only stepped two paces when my Garrett gave a crystal clear beep with a constant 53 on the ID. I dug the target and low and behold it was a lovely hammered Henry II Tealby penny. I was over the moon with a big grin on my face. I took a photo and text my buddy to come meet me. As I stood up and checked my hole, i got a further signal, another Tealby Penny, then another. By the time my friend (using my spare Garrett Ace 250) arrived I was stood there with 4 small silver coins in my hand and the smile still on my face. Overall my detecting buddy and I found a total of 105 Silver Henry II Coins dating back to 1154-1189 AD.
Furthermore I decided to detect in line with the current plow formation and had a clear signal of 46 which turned out to be a solid gold strap end dating as early as 500-900AD just 30 yards from the coin hoard. We have reported this hoard of treasure to the portable antiquities department and are currently awaiting more information to hand them over to the Finds Officer here in Hampshire, England. I am extremely pleased with this detector, especially using it in Pro Zero mode.

My second favorite international find for September 2018 is the Bronze Axe Head Treasure, found by Denis P. from Ukraine with his Ace 250.
Denis's story: Greetings to the company Garrett. In October 2014, I found a unique find. It was a whole complex of things from the late Bronze Age, dated around 3,500 years BC. 12 bronze axes, sickle, 4 harness buttons and coins, rings. In total there were 18 subjects. This find was of historical and cultural value for the native land. And was transferred to the city museum, where, after the restoration, is still there today.

Daniel's story: Hi. I discovered this Roman ring with a very beautiful blue agate stone in an area where I did not expect to be anything medieval or even Roman. I found it with AT Pro International and for me it is the best detector.
