<p><strong>Minelab products never cease to amaze me with their build quality and performance.</strong> Over the last decade, such products have made some of the most astounding and fantastic discoveries for my colleagues and me. This goes on and on.</p> <p>Some time back a friend was made redundant and his detector broke so I lent him my Safari. Eventually I gave him it and he has gone on to make superb finds at incredible depths. Today he popped round with another "Safari Victory" this time a beautiful and mysterious Roman votive altar, most often associated with Roman soldiers and various cult beliefs.</p> [split] <p>It's in great condition having leaf shaped enamel panels and lovely green patination. These finds in Britain are incredibly rare. But to be fair, we have two complete examples and a few bits of them. Each forming a true time line back to a period where a Roman soldier placed a small altar as an offering at a temple a direct connection with that individual.</p> <p>Of course such a soldier could never have imagined the sophisticated technology that would enable someone else to hold the little altar again in twenty centuries time.....thank you Minelab</p>
