Hey Guys. The picture below will shake you guys up as much as it did me. I had the quattro and never rated it one bit against the Explorers and quickly sold it.
The picture below of the cover of this Februarys British Treasure Hunting Magazine shows a Gold stater Hoard found with a Quattro on Easter weekend 2008.
There were 825 GOLD CELTIC STATERS of the ICENI ( BOADICEAS) Tribe dating back to the first century AD (2000 years ago)

That is what dreams are made of. That guy who I think is 60 will never probably have to work again. The hoard will be declared Treasure and as such owned by the Crown. He will be given a reward eventually to its market value decided by a valuation commitee of experts which he will share 50/50 with the landowner where he found it.
That Reward, if they are fair to him could be half a million English pounds or $700,000. Those coins individually at the moment are worth somewhere between $800 - $1000 each.

Just for the record they were buried all those years ago as possibly a gift to the gods, who knows. They were only 8" deep, still
mostly in the earthenware pot show in the picture.

Enjoy the pic and do us a favour. Dont all come rushing at once to the UK when its vacation time.

There are 5 Videos currently posted on MLOTV.com telling all the history and explaining Boadiceas rise and fall against the mighty roman legions.

not necessarily the detector you are using. But where you sweep the coil. A cache this size, eight inches deep could have been found with just about any detector made in the past 45 years. But, it is refreshing for those using the Quattro to know that someone had great success with theirs. Thanks for sharing the info. HH Randy
