First Gold - First Silver

[Norge]

Quick trip out last night. Really starting to get the feel for the 305 now - managed to only dig 4 pieces of trash and the rest you can see in the pictures. Very suprised it picked up the gold as it is quite small and wafer thin - but gave a solid 28 despite being a few inches down.

The large silver broach was very beep - over 6 inches - and is a traditional broach from a Norwegian "bunad" which is the traditional dress used for celebraions here in Norway. These things are handmade and generally cost a couple of hundred dollars - this one needs a good clean and is missing a couple of pieces (perhaps as a result of me hitting it with the digging tool .....). Picture of a traditional bunad here on the link:

Also about 12 dollars in change picked up.

Do you know what I found similar to this?? Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can't wait for this weekend. I am having detector withdrawals after seeing your treasure. You are responsible for me falling off the wagon. Nice finds by X-Terra brother from another mother.

That's some nice finds. It's always great to find silver or gold.

Anyone interested in some local Norwegian history and seeing some interesting hunts with the X-Terra in Norway should check out this guys YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/DiggingNorway

He really gets into the spirit of the hunt and is pretty funny to boot !!
