Editorial

We’re back after a break for one week – Paul moved house during the previous week and we couldn’t quite get an edition out. This week, there’s our traditional Christmas message with a look back over 2022.

There are seven readers finds including a Massachusetts Oak Tree Shilling. In PAS finds, three coins which are imitations or contemporary copies of some significance.

Many thanks to all of you have sent your finds in during the year. I hope you manage to get out to do a bit of detecting over the holiday period. Remember to send in anything of interest.
