Congratulations to our International Favorite Finds winner Anthony C. from Europe!
“This was a very unusual sight when I brushed the earth away.” said Anthony.
Anthony C. was hunting in a plowed field with his Apex. After hours of digging, he pulled out a Gold Gilded Christ Figurine! He writes, “A cast copper alloy, a gilded figurine of Jesus on the cross from a crucifix of Medieval to Post Medieval date, about AD 1250 - 1600. The figurine is incomplete, with the arms below the elbow and both feet missing. The reverse of the figurine is concave, but the front has been decorated in relief. Furthermore, there was a religious college, now ruined, a couple of fields from where this was found and the museum people believe that this was ripped from a wooden cross during the English Reformation, so approx 1530-40s.”

Congratulations to our International Favorite Finds winner, Bobbie J. from the UK!
Bobbie said, “The place has been well and truly searched”. However, she thought she would go back out one more time for good luck. After ground-balancing her machine and taking her first swing, she got a consistent signal reading at 60. She dug up the target and couldn't believe her eyes! It was a Celtic stater, circa 65 BC!
