EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEAK! NEW FOR 2019: Nexus Pathfinder Twin Box breaks depth penetration records
The Nexus Pathfinder is a brand new additon to
our metal detector range. The two box metal
detector redefines the terms depth and
discrimination completely.
The mechanical construction of the new Nexus
Pathfinder is made out of over 300 individual
components forming a complex frame designed
to achieve extreme mechanical stability and very
low weight at the same time.
The weight of the frame and coils of Nexus
Pathfinder is only 3 kg.
The coils are 75 cm (30') in diameter and the
total working length is 185 cm.
More information regarding the development of
this two box metal detector as well as detailed
video tests will be published as soon as it
becomes available.
An astonishing treasure of 19 Roman clay pots loaded to the brim with bronze and silver coated coins dating approximately back to the late 3rd century was
discovered in Seville, Spain. It lay buried 3 feet under the ground, covered by bricks and pieces of shattered ceramic. The total weight of the coins is 600 kilograms
(1,300 pounds). The find is unique due to it's size and features.
Only some of the coins have been examined so far, and they are minted during the reign of emperors Maximian (r. 286-305) and Constantine (r. 306-337). It seems
that they were not in use, as they contain no signs of it.
Nine of the clay pots were extracted in well-intact condition. The pots were made to be very strong and sturdy, this way protecting the content very well. All the pots
were identified to be designed for the purpose to carry cash, their shape is different and they are smaller than those used for the purpose of holding food items for
various uses.
There are two possible options for why the pots were buried there. It may have been due to social unrest or it could have been a dedicated deposit space inside a
military base or fort.
Further search and discovery around the area may reveal more. Whatever the reason could have been, there is certainty that it was not a privately owned treasure as
the content of the pots are uniform and in uncirculated condition. Two possible options are that it was meant as payment to millitary personal or civil servants or it may
have been due for delivery to the tax coffers.
Astonishing treasure of 19 Roman clay pots filled with coins discovered in Spain
Exceptionally rare gold coin worth 100k found in pristine condition
A metal detector enthusiast made the discovery of a lifetime while searching on
a freshly ploughed farm field near a historical Roman road in Dover, Kent. As
the 30-year-old detectorist removed the dirt from the shiny find, his initial
reaction was that it must be a fake, as it was in absolute pristine condition.
Following authentication by the British Museum, it was confirmed that he found
an exceptionally rare 24 carat Aureus coin, embellished with the face of
Emperor Allectu who reigned during 293 AD, which dates it back to almost 2000
years ago.
The finder said 'At first I was quite sceptical of its authenticity because it was so
shiny but when I realised what it could be potentially I just completely freaked out
by it.'
The coin is aproximately the size of a modern one penny and weighs 4.31
grams. Displayed on one side is the head of Allectus and on the other, that of
two captives kneeling at the feet of Apollo.
The only other known specimen of this coin in in the world is currently displayed at the British Museum. None of them have been found in the past 50 years. Due to it's
rarityand perfectly preserved condition, it is believed to sell for £100,000 ($130,000) when it goes on auction. Britain's Treasure Act states that a single gold coin is not
considered a treasure, therefore it is not required to notify the coroner and may be placed on auction.
