I would like to share a great success from my recent detecting adventures with the Nokta SCORE.
Using the SCORE, I was able to discover an interesting Bronze Age artefact — a find that was later featured in a TVP 1 television report in Poland.
I wanted to share this with you because it is a great example of what the SCORE can help detectorists achieve. I am very happy with the detector and proud that my discovery attracted the attention of Polish television.
Here is the TVP 1 report:
First off, huge props to you guys for the Nokta Score. The machine is an absolute beast! It honestly puts way more expensive “high-end” detectors to shame. On regular hunts, it effortlessly pulls out coins and WWII relics, but this time it helped me uncover something truly mind-blowing.
I’m a member of a local Polish Historical Association. The discovery actually happened about a year ago, but I had to keep everything quiet to protect the spot from unwanted “night diggers”. We also had some minor bureaucratic back-and-forth with the local heritage conservator (Wojewódzki Urząd Ochrony Zabytków), but that’s practically sorted now. What’s even crazier is that the site seems huge — there are still solid, deep signals in the ground that I left untouched for the archaeologists to excavate properly!
I’ve attached photos of the artifacts, and here’s the quick breakdown of the official report from the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw:
- Bronze Age Sword Hilt (c. 12th–11th Century BC / ~3,000+ years old!): Identified as a rare Liptov-type sword with a decorated pommel and ribs. It was imported all the way from the Carpathian Basin (today’s Slovakia/Hungary), showing ancient long-distance trade. A genuine prestige item!
- Bronze Pin (c. 13th–12th Century BC): Likely an Opatów-type pin, which is super rare for the Mazovia region.
- Old Spoon (c. 16th–17th Century): Found in the area as well, currently undergoing chemical testing to pinpoint exact details.
“Keep making great gear!“
