Alter Versus Vikings Treasure


Recommended Posts

In September I was participating in 5th season of archeological dig for remains of huge silver treasure discovered in 2015. Treasure consist mostly of parted coins from Samanid Empire 8 to 9 century, Slavic jewelry and coins from  Germany , Hungary  and Denmark. In this season of digging ( 4 meetings) we discovered totally 150 fragments of treasure. Field were it was discovered is an iron carpet, were many detector fail to separate good targets  from iron junk. I attend 2 digs and I was lucky  to discover 35 silver items.

Why are the artifacts in such small jagged pieces?

Nice recoveries of history.

Xawi29... what coil  do you most often use on Alter71 to find such small pieces of chopped coins? I assume it will be a coil of medium or smaller size ...

Hi El NINO77!! I started with standard 28 DD coil I was picking up targets  in little modified ultra fast program,  but due to amount of iron  and size of targets I  changed it to Mars Sniper and it works well for me ( I like this coil very much due to it sensitiviti on micro targets).
