WINNER #1
My international favorite find for October 2019 is the Centenary of Colonisation Medallion 1888, found by Jacob B. from Australia with his AT Pro International.
Jacob's story: I found this medallion deep in the Australian bush at the homesite of an 1880's coal miner.
I only recently acquired the AT Pro International which means I am still getting used to all the tones and target ID's. However, I got a solid 80 signal only at 5cm. I brushed away the leaf litter to reveal the medallion sitting on the top of the dirt. The medallion was issued in 1888 and commemorates the centenary of the colonisation of Australia. The front features Captain Cook, who originally settled Australia in 1788, and the back shows an old map of Australia and its colonies, before federation. Nowadays places such as 'North Australia' no longer exist.
This is definitely one of my best finds to date!

My international favorite find for September 2019 is the Viking Sword Pommel from 875-950ad, found by Andy G. from the U.K. with his Ace 300i.
Andy's story: On my 6th dig in the UK, having previously only found a few minor relics (leather mounts or 17th century furniture mounts), I found a Viking sword pommel type Petersen O made in silver with gold inlaid panels! With some research I found this design was only made between 875 and 950ad!

My second international favorite find for September 2019 is the Celtic Gold Quarter Stater around 100bc, found by Leon B. from Europe with his ACE 250.
Leon's story: Let me start by telling you my story of how I got into detecting. I was walking with my father on his land when he stopped and noticed a coin on top of a mole hill. It was Napoleon 3rd. So I had to buy myself a metal detector and see what other treasures might be lurking. I looked online and bought myself a Garrett ACE 250.
Immediately i started finding many cool finds. After three years of detecting on my father's land and many cool finds later (ww1, ww2 medals, 13th century coins and templar jetons/tokens), I found this stunning Celtic gold quarter stater around 100bc. The best find so far! My heart stopped and couldn't believe what I had just found.

My third international favorite find for September 2019 is the Carlos y Juana Series 1536 Coin, found by Miguel B. from Mexico with his ACE 250.
Miguel's story: Today was cloudy and very comfortable for hunting so I said "here I go again" and headed to a cornfield that has not been used for a long time. Starting with some current coins and tons of aluminum beer cans and some more trash, then suddenly I heard a clear and strong signal of my old and loyal buddy Ace 250 that every metal detectorist recognizes. So I started to dig and there It was… A 1535 to 1536 silver 1 Real, known as Carlos y Juana series. The history says that Its family were the first coins made by "La casa de moneda de Mexico", that means "The house of the coin of Mexico", the oldest in the whole America. And I said wow!!! I'm very happy to be with my partner 250 again and very excited for participating in The Find of the Month and belong to this big Garrett Metal Detectors family.

My second international favorite find for August 2019 is the Late Medieval/Tudor Seal Matrix, circa 13th-16th century, found by Gareth J. from the U.K. with his Ace 400i.
Gareth's story: Garrett brought me back from depression, from the brink of suicide! When I lost my dad I went down hill hadn't touched a detector since. When my mum fell ill I hit the bottom! But once you hit the bottom there's only one other way to go and that's up!
My best friend that owns some land bought me a detector and told me to get out there! I didn't want to hurt his feelings so after visiting and hugging mum I grabbed the Garrett and went for a swing with positive thoughts on my mind. Clear day, sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky. And what a day it was, signals everywhere, and good signals! Coins, thimbles, buttons. But then the best signal was walking back to the car…Boom! A medieval seal matrix...wow what a find...so that's it! No more bad thoughts, no more illnesses I hope, but the Garrett has brought me home! I'm back in the field and best of all we got some good news! My mum will be along next time too.....thanks Garrett. I'll be true to you for ever!
This seal matrix is engraved with a Royal Crown, and was used for sealing important documents from the local castle.

My third international favorite find for August 2019 is the Gold Fortuna Pendant, found by Wayne H. from Alberta, Canada, with his AT Gold.
Wayne's story: As there are not a lot of historical areas where I live, I was out in a school soccer field one afternoon with my AT Gold Detector. I usually find coins, some rings, various other items. I suddenly picked up a strong but jumpy signal. Dropping down on my knees and using my pin-pointer, I started narrowing down the area. Something shiny was emerging. I thought oh another Loonie (Canadian $1.00 coin) but when I pulled it out it was a gold colored pendant with a female image on it. As I flipped it over I read, Suisse 5g Fine Gold 999.9. I was completely amazed, I had found a pure gold pendant. Upon researching the image I found out it was of the Roman goddess Fortuna (goddess of fortune). Fortunate for me, and by far my greatest find ever. Thanks Garrett for an incredible machine!

WINNER #1
My international favorite finds for July 2019 are the Two Gold Coins in the Same Hole, found by Warren H. from the UK with his AT Max.
Warren's story: I was out in well-coiled fields on Friday the 19th of July, It had just started raining and I was making my way back to the gate and home for the day. I picked up a strong but jumpy signal on my trusty AT Max and decide to give it one more before the heavens opened.
I nearly fell over with shock when I saw a yellow gleam and shakily retrieved an amazing 1877 Half Sovereign with Victoria's head staring at me. Resisting the urge to clean it I carefully put it away and did what every good detectorist should 'check the hole'.
Imagine the look of shock on my face when I had another strong signal. A few seconds later I had in my hand an 1872 Full Sovereign! 2 golds, one hole. When does that EVER happen?
Here's hoping it happens again soon. Thanks Garrett! Amazing machine and crossed 2 items off my wish list in less than 12 months of detecting!

My second international favorite find for July 2019 is the New Zealand Ring, found by Leigh H. from New Zealand with his Ace 400i.
Leigh's story: My best find so far! I found it on a beach in New Zealand this month. I was using my Garrett Ace 400i. I was amazed how deep this was on the beach and when my wife and I dug it out it was unrecognisable as it was encrusted in a black type of rock like material. We took it home and carefully removed the crusty material to reveal this ring. It looks very old and hand made from some type of bronze or copper.
I intend to research its history if possible. It was so exiting to find something so unusual. We are relatively new to metal detecting and it has spurred us on to do more. I have just purchased a Garrett Sea Hunter as the beach is our favourite place to search and it works great.

My second International Favorite Find for June 2019 is the Antique Golden Ring with Stones Inlay, found by Frank K. from Europe with the AT Max.
Frank's story: Last night we went searching near an old mansion. Not much luck there so we moved on to the woods nearby to search the trails. When I was just about to give up and go home there it was...a loud beep with a 50 ID on the AT Max. Dug the hole and there it was!!
I found myself this amazing antique golden ring with stone inlays!!! We think it is shaped as edelweiss but that is still open for some discussion. This was one of those rare days that hopes, dreams and promises all came true in a blink of an eye!!!

My third International Favorite Find for June 2019 is the 1885 Gold Sovereign, found by John M. from Australia with his AT Pro.
John's story: This has been a real bucket list item for me. I was out in a small town site in the wheatbelt of Western Australia, relic hunting with my AT PRO. Not having much luck throughout the beginning of the day, finding lots of lead and modern bottle caps. My first promising signals producing one penny and a modern Australia $1 coin.
Then there it was not long after, my first Gold coin, an 1885 sovereign laying only 1" beneath the surface right next to an old foundation of what used to be the rural bank. Im definitely getting addicted to this hobby and loving my Garrett Detector!

My second international favorite find is the lot of seven silver coins from 1856, found by Yoann S. from Europe with his ACE 250.
Yoann's story: Today, 6am Sunday, 19 May 2019. I did not know where to go, so I went back to the great meadow and big forest one hour from the home that I adore. At the spot, I decided to go down to the forest's backyard, to go where no one is going. In a small place of grass, I picked up a beep, beep, beep, a signal and another signal, and again and again, so I think that it is the waste of hikers.
I searched the grass zone and found nothing else, so I went back closer to the area I called "polluted" and decided to make a hole. And a big piece came out of the ground! I started rubbing it, and said, "It's silver!" Right away, I made another hole and the sound of a big silver coin sounded everywhere; the detector howled. Seven pieces came from the ground altogether, all beautiful.
There was nobody to make my pictures, so I made them alone! Thanks to the Garrett team.

My international favorite find for April 2019 is the B.C. Coin Matrix, found by Paul S. from the U.K. with his AT Pro.
Paul's story: Hi all at Garrett. Day started like normal. About 2 hrs into a dig with a group of friends I got a really strong signal on my Garrett AT Pro about 5 inches down found a peace of bronze with strange markings on one end. As this is my first year of detecting I was unsure of what it was I put it into my bag and carried on searching. A bit later on I showed it to my friends that's when the day went a bit crazy.
It was explained to me as very rare object used to make casting molds for bronze coins dating from 20 to 60 years bc.The rest of the day was a bit of a daze. It has now been recorded by a Finds Liaison officer as a find of national importance and the only one ever found in the England. The next stage is to the British museum for further research. Thank you all at Garrett for making this very special day possible.
Kind regards Paul

My second international favorite find is the 1st-2nd Century B.C. Roman Gold Ring with Gem, found by Andrew F. from Europe.
Andrew's story: Hello Garrett Company! My success story is related to my favorite metal detector, Garrett AT PRO. He brought me many good finds and unforgettable emotions. In March 2019, on a plowed field, Garrett AT PRO brought me a unique find. After three hours of searching, the numeric identifier on the display showed 63 - 65. A rather interesting target, I thought. The signal was clear in both directions, despite the fact that the goal lay quite deep. Finally, I turned the third lump of earth with a spade and rang the cottage over it. The goal was localized.
As it turned out later, it was a gold Roman ring with a gem, which could serve as an imprint of the seal. Perhaps he was worn by a Roman legionary or a wealthy merchant, around the 2nd - 1st century BC. And the depicted pictures on it have a clearly mythological interpretation. I cannot convey in words the feelings during the discovery. I was just happy.
With best regards, Andrew F. from Europe

Sergey's story: I remember the beginning of spring 2017 especially. It was a warm sunny day. The snow has already melted. The forest smelled of freshness and first flowers. I smoothly waved the garrett Ace 150 metal detector from side to side and enjoyed the awakening of nature. Suddenly I heard an acquaintance, such a pleasant ear signal - ding! Once again ding - ding! I started digging. Carefully turned out a lump of earth with a shovel. Pinpoint pinpointed the target under the coil. It was a gold coin! The Golden Aureus of the Roman Emperor Carus (AD 282- 283).
I was a bit shocked! Joy filled the soul! Even the simplest metal detector is capable of a miracle! Thanks to the company Garrett!

WINNER #1
My international favorite find for February 2019 is the 15.92 gram Golden Ring, discovered by Velentine B. from Europe with his Ace 250.
Hello, I want to tell my success story, as I found a valuable find using a detector. I went to an abandoned beach in the countryside, so to speak, to hunt for artifacts. I did not expect that I would find something like this! My detector detected a signal and I began to diligently drip. When I dug a hole, I couldn't believe my eyes, I saw a golden ring!!! I was filled with emotions! I danced from happiness!!! The weight of this ring is 15.92 grams.
Presumably by one version the ring belonged to a group of Thracian tribes and dates back to 1-3 centuries AD. According to another version, the golden ring of Rome, 9th century. In any case, the find is super!!!

My third international favorite find for February 2019 is the King Vladislav IV (1595-1648) Polish Coin, discovered by Nicolay K. from Europe with his Ace 350.
Hello dear Garrett! Here is my incredible find story. I feel without Garrett Ace 350 as without hands, so I often take him with me to nature. And once I was lucky one fine day to go on a outing that was the most memorable one in my life! In a spruce forest after several hours of searching, I found a path that led to a big old oak tree. There I found my treasure thanks to my detector Garrett Ace 350. Catching a signal by determining the exact location of the target, I started digging, looking forward to getting to the goal, I saw the shine of metal.
It was a silver Thaler. On the obverse depicts King Vladislav IV (1595-1648). Polish coin of 1635, diameter: 46mm., weight: 28.52 grams. Rare and beautiful artifact of the currency of the Cossack era in Ukraine. I was happy that beautiful day when I found a rare coin!!! My pupils of the eyes extended from euphoria!!! I am happy that I have a friend like Garrett, which doesn't let me down!

My third international favorite find for January 2019 is the Golden Roman Aureus of Emperor Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletian, found by Max R. from Europe with his Ace 350.
Max's story: I express my gratitude to the company Garrett for the fact that for more than 50 years it has been developing new metal detectors, which give treasure hunters all over the world unforgettable emotions, making people happy.
Thousands of miles traveled by me with reliable Garrett Ace 350.
This story is about my first gold coin, which I searched for four years. A golden aureus of Emperor Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletian 284-305, minted in the city of Antioch. He was waiting for me one fine hot summer day, in the roots of an old, rotten stump. Barely audible deep signal, reminiscent of the sound of foil. Under the rays of the sun, breaking through the centuries-old treetops, the gold coin gleamed. My heart began to beat faster! Breathing increased. I felt euphoric! It was a real buzz!
The found coin was later sold to a collector. And with the money I bought my friends two new Garrett Ace 350's.
Respectfully, Max R. from Europe.
