The find was picked up with the XP Deus metal detector. It may be said that the machine was compensated, but… Personally, I think happy moments while hunting are much more expensive.

  • The cauldron is great. Truly a collector’s item. Such finds are usually occupying the highest place of honor. Taking into account its age and condition, the selling price is clearly understated. When selling such finds a hunter must remember… probably it was the coolest find in his life and there won’t be another one like that.
