Opa found a once-in-a-lifetime find on his third day using the Vortex! On his first few swings, he was getting a VDI of 53 repeatedly, so he decided to dig one up. He thought it would be a pull tab, but it turned out to be a gold coin about 10 inches in the ground, which made his heart skip a beat in shock. He wrote, “ It turned out to be a rare 1555–1567 Saint Oswald Ducat, a Dutch gold guilder from Count William IV. The only other known example sits in a castle museum… and the second was found far from that castle, right in my hometown. A little dance, a lot of history, and a day I’ll never forget. Thank you, Garrett Metal Detectors, for building detectors that truly bring the past back to life.”
