Iron has been with us since prehistoric times and the first objects made from meteoric iron can be dated back to 5000 BC. The actual discovery of its production may have been made by accident during the reduction of copper inMesopotamia, it is possible that the first iron droplets processed by humans were in the world as early as 4500 BC.AD.
In May we got a good portion of finds and some of them are literally from the category of dreams, despite the fact that it is a very sad time for polers (like me).
It has to be said that the April round of the most beautiful find of the month is 99.99% decided by the kind of margin I'd expect to find a big lump of gold, not an ornate bronze knife. But thanks to that, we can start qualifying for May today, and since there were a lot of finds in May, there is a lot to choose from.
This weekend the detectorists gathered at the traditional weekend meeting in the camp in Chabařovice. It was a great opportunity to meet friends, share experiences and spend time together in a pleasant environment.
We have here the March round of our traditional competition for the most beautiful find of the month. Since winter left us before it even showed up, the search in March was like I certainly don't remember in the last few years.
As every month, we have drawn one new owner of the Mars tracker (you can choose the colour) from all those who took the time to write their suggestion for the TOP 5 finds of the month.
