Items like spindle whorls or buttons are often regarded with disdain and some even throw them into the nearest hedge. Not so Mrs John who collects buttons and is especially fond of the four-holed variety …

It doesn’t have to be old to be Interesting!
How had the medal been lost? Did the owner throw it away, perhaps wishing to forget all about the war? Had it been stolen and discarded?

Simple Scanning for Detectorists
Hello. Trying again ....
This is one of my most popular posts - resurrected and updated. How many times have you seen a blurred coin picture on your forum taken on the hand and with a lot of superfluous background? I’m sure that if you submitted the picture to Gypsy Petulengro she would be able to give you an accurate palm reading (the hand is always in perfect focus).

A Talk on Metal Detecting

MURPHY’S LAW… Metal Detecting and the Republic of Ireland
Wesley says: What you have in the UK is a sensible functioning system fully supported by the British Museum who endorse and widely promote the hobby. It’s not that that way in the Republic of Ireland.

The rookie detectorist
Brian’s ‘romantic keepsake’ found its way into the local press who fantasised how it came to be lost. I think they have the edge when it comes to imaginative writing … don’t you?
