What would be your Holy Grail. The ultimate find for you?

Try and post a pic of it if possible

Hi, as things stand i have only found copper coins and a couple of tokens and lots and lots of iron. So i would be very happy to find a hammered coin, any age any condition,i've not been detecting very long ,started off with a whites classic III then sold it over a year ago to buy new machine and bought an f75 3 weeks ago.

Hi Rob, I think my ultimate find would be a huge hoard of gold coins, doesn't matter from which period they come as long as they're gold. Sorry I haven't got a picture.......yet. :) :)

Richy.

The relics of Man carried at our open parliament (Tynwald)  Two staffs of saints which were probably gold and
encrusted with gems. They were last mentioned 1415 and have not been seen since. I would also like to find the
location of the Manx Viking mint which produced Hiberno/ Manx coins 1020 -60c  The picture is Tynwald Hill. :) :) :)

I dont know what my ultimate find would be but i will let you know when i find it but i think i would rule out ointment tubes and ring pulls they seem to be drawn to me in some uncanny way. ??? ::) :-[ ;D

a bronze axehead any type. ;D
ian.

A hoard of king Stephen , Matilda and any of the barons pennies

A Roman statute of one of the god's,or an axe head or spear. :)

Got to be something from the bronze age. Found plenty of medieval stuff, but no roman or bronze age yet.

my instinct tells me a nice hoard my heart and pocket say's jewelery with several big carrat perfect diamonds. a retirement so as to be abler to travel looking for more relics all over.
or a fantasy coin that was actually made but not listed like double leopard  .
zzz o back to the real world...

i would like  to find a roman gold coin hoard  and my sunday detecting mates could share it with me . HAPPY DAYS that would be.

oh for a simple crotal bell !..the gold hoard could come after !....byron

A Celtic/Iron age torque is my dream find ::) ::) ::)

I would have absolutly 100% died and gone to heaven if i found some Bronze Age gold. Have found a bronze socketed arrowhead which is the photo and hundreds of flint tools but no gold. Maybe one day.

th entrance to a big gold mine..

Mine would have to be a really nice Poszey ring!

Always wanted one, never yet found one.

 :(

My dream find would have to be a field without rusty nails, pull rings, coke cans or spent 12 bore cartridges.

hi there  i would like to find the bronze age axe head i threw away about 20 years ago on llansteffan fore shore ,  as at the time i had no idea what it was, i have looked a number of times but no luck  "" maybe next time""     mick

Second thoughts I would love to find a coin minted by a welsh king or leader. There is only one example of a coin that i've seen on the net minted by hywel dda in 950 ad. Got to be more out there ;)

A seal matrix of some famous historical character would be nice.

A nice religious gold cross or something like that preferably really old ..

A gold angel or a posy ring love the messages that are wrote in them...
