Hi guys!
I hope everyone is doing great.
Lately I decided to add to my Deus the X35 13inch coil and the HF elliptical one. The idea was to find more deep targets and also the tiny silver coins.
Yesterday, I had the flight at 15.20. At 4.30 I was already fully awake. First I thought it was silly but then I jumped on the car and headed to a new site where I have been only twice.
On my way up I decided to use the X35. Reactivity 0, disc - 6.4, 11khz, slow motion and I could find some deeper targets. Amongst them three silver coins too.
When I was on the top of the hill it was already 10 o'clock. I attached the HF coil, Deus hot, sens 97 and made my way down. I was already half way down and I hadn't found any special stuff but 4-5 silver Coins. It was the first time using it and it was not so easy getting used with the sounds.
It was a new sound for me and I prepared the spade but it was right in the surface. First I thought it was a joke. An ancient gold earring on my hand. Crazy. It happened so quickly that I forgot to turn on the camera.
It's an Illyrian gold earring, 400-300 BC. Probably it had a black stone in it and it was broken. P_20180924_102841_1.jpg

This has been my luckiest day. I found the earring and I didn't loose my flight.
Sorry guys, I have to go. Babies are calling.:laughing9:

Congratulations on a remarkable find. That is a beautiful piece of ancient golden craftsmanship and it surely deserves to be on the banner!
 

To get that fine detail on such a small piece they had to have some kind of a magnifier.
>> Ancient Lenses.
 

Banner find all the way....touchdown,slam dunk and a home run! Great one Vince!
 

Thats a Banner for sure! Simply amazing. I'll don't write more, i go back and look at the pics some more! :hello2:

Very cool with incredible fine detail !:)

Thanks mate. You re right. Its amazing how could have they crafted it at that time.
 

Looks like a helmet on a cornucopia. Maybe Alexander the Great wore it?
 

That’s insane! How did you even know how to research what era that was from? I can’t believe the detail on it for being that old.

Because I know somehow the period that the area was inhabited. That's a clue. Then i did a research on the web. I also had my friend's opinion.The details are great. Thanks mate.
 

Yes Vince, your earing looks more like a helmet and that's the shape of the helmets they wore. Wonder if he was Nubian too? Cool and exotic!

I don't think they were Nubians. Probably they crafted the filigree and they imported the black stone. :dontknow:
 

:hello2::occasion14: Well done, excellent piece of ancient history.

I can't imagine how excited I should be if the black stone was still in it. Thank buddy:thumbsup:

Very interesting. It's very much probable. And I think they used the lens even for the coins. Thanks mate
 

Incredible find. You be at the right place at the right time. Congrats

This was the second hunt on this site. I'm sure that I have pass over it or at least very close to it on my first hunt.
