Last year and again this year, Stan V. won the Detectorist of the Year award from the Brisbane Detector Club. He is very methodical and passionate about his detecting, enjoying the hobby for over 15 years. Stan has located an old army hospital site from WW2, now part of a dairy farm, south of Brisbane. The hospital site covers 12-15 acres and Stan uses a spray of paint on the trees every 5-6 meters so he can keep track of where he has detected. The Sovereign GT has been a terrific machine for him finding literally thousands and thousands of coins, badges, rings and other artefacts. One of his most exciting finds has been two US Army dog tags. Stan has even been able to locate one of the owners and returned the dog tag to him 62 years later.
