WINNER #1
My international favorite find for November 2017 is the Roman Two-Headed Horse Fibula, found by Luka R. from Croatia with his Ace 400i.
Luka's story: This weekend I was planning to go detecting with my friend but we didn't know where to go because all our good locations were really far. So we decided to go on one roman location that is kinda near us but it is pretty worn out, because there was a lot of other detectorists with all kind of metal detectors. When we came there the dark started to fall, but the moon was full and there was a lot of moon shine so we could see really good. There was a lot of new holes so we didn't have any big expectations...
We started detecting and second signal, in middle of 3 holes, bam, found a Denari, then I knew that it will be good day for me. After 3-4 hours of swinging we took a little break because both of us were tired. We started searching again and after few minutes I have some mixed up signal few centimeters from some old hole, I started digging (20 cm deep) found some iron piece, put it in my bag, took my Garrett Ace 400i and swung again over that hole and bing bing bing, great signal. I'm digging but i can't find that "signal" so i take my Pro-Pointer and signal is even deeper. Once more I put my shovel in hole (it was 40-50cm deep at that time), take out dirt and there arent any signal in hole anymore, so I take propointer and started searching. Finally I see something like dragon head poping out of dirt, took it out and boom baby boom, beautiful Roman two headed horse fibula in perfect condition. After 1800 years the needle is still working.

My second international favorite find for November 2017 is the Iron Cross Hoard, found by Lucian L. from Romania with his Garrett Ace 300i.
Lucian's story: Greetings from Romania! I'm very happy to present my new military treasure, found with my new metal detector Garrett 300i. It's about 170 pieces of WW2 German Iron Cross class 2, found with my new 300i near a former German military base from WW2, near Bucharest.

WINNER #3
My third international favorite find for November 2017 is the WW2 American Soldiers Sterling Silver Ring, found by Stephen W. from the UK with his Ace 250.
Stephen's story: I was detecting a field on the coast in Weymouth, Dorset, England. When I got a brilliant double-dinger signal on the Ace 250, I thought it was going to be a copper or silver coin but then to my surprise a big silver ring popped out! It had the American seal on the front and Eagles on both sides and a lot of decoration. I knew it was American but after doing some research I found out an American soldier would have bought it before coming to England! And dropped it after spending time in Weymouth before leaving for France to fight. A lot of American soldiers would have got on boats and landing crafts in Weymouth ready for the beach landings in France on D-day. It's the best American WW2 item I've found and one of my best rings!

My fourth international favorite find for November 2017 is the Buckle with Lion Figure, found by Ezequiel R. from Argentina with his Ace 350.
Ezequiel's story: Hello, some time ago I bought the Garrett Ace 350 detector and it has given me once again the satisfaction of having found a unique piece in what was a battle scenario during the war of the triple alliance in the province of Corrientes Argentina. (1865-1870) The piece is a beautiful buckle with the image of a lion belonging to an officer of the army of Paraguay. I feel besides a great joy, a tremendous respect because this type of find reminds me of those men who left their lives in those fields. Really this activity is the most exciting that can exist. Regards!
