I've been fairly fortunate this year in my discoveries however, what you see in the picture before you is one of my favorite. This is a 2000+ year old Bronze Roman Sieve which The British Museum has since informed me is an "archaeologically important find" due to the rarity of the item. I have since handed my Sieve over to the Farmer who granted me digging permission and requested that he pass this along to the local archeologists.

I think the neatest thing about finding this Roman artifact is that I found it on my Birthday and had only been detecting for about an hour before it turned up. I was quite surprised due to the faint signal and the depth at which it was recovered. I truly wish I had my camera with me so everyone could see the 14+ inch deep hole that I dug to recover my Roman Bronze!

With out a doubt I can safely say that I've been tremendously successful with my DFX this year and no other detector has been able to perform like my White's. I would like to say that I've been able to convert some of my detecting buddies to White's however they still seem to have faith in their respective machines. I hope they stick with the inferior detectors because I truly enjoy having the advantage on the field.

Respectfully,
