NewsWebsite Update

Friday Update – 4 December

Each Friday afternoon, I will update the website with all my latest coin news and valuations, articles and news. I will continue to publish any breaking news, such as auction results, as they happen.

Hot Topics

These articles will cover issues which affect the metal detecting community. They are intended to provoke debate and I encourage you to express your opinions in the comments section of these articles.

Institute of Detectorists – is it a cause for concern?

There are fears that the Institute of Metal Detecting is intent on restricting the hobby of metal detecting.

Or is it simply trying to educate metal detectorists to enable them to unearth and report finds with a greater understanding of the archaeological impact.
