Editorial

This website has now been going for two and a half years, which means we get to follow up on stories as they develop. Back in December 2021, detectorist Steve Simmons contacted us to say that he had recently dug up a small hoard of gold coins and would we be interested in the story. Of course, we said yes. Next month, that hoard is up for auction and we have the update on that story.

In other auction news, there were several gold ring detecting finds in Noonans sale last week. Most did very well, especially the Memento Mori ring which was found in late 2022.

Another really good selection of readers finds, including a penny of Ecgberht. And in PAS Finds is a seal matrix of the Trinitarians, whose story includes another vision of a stag with a cross and a curious statue in a campus restaurant in an American university.
