After coins and buttons, the objects most commonly found by detectorists are buckles, but most of us know very little about these varied and interesting items.
This encyclopaedic book is an essential reference source for all of us. The product of years of research, Identifying Detector Finds - Buckles is the latest addition to Greenlight Publishing's extensive catalogue of metal detecting titles. It’s a meticulously detailed A4 hardback book spanning 344 pages with 1775 precisely detailed drawings. This book guides us through the entire history of buckles, including their shapes, styles, manufacture, and uses, up to and including the nineteenth century.

Using this unique book, you’ll be able to reasonably accurately date and identify virtually every pre-twentieth-century buckle you’ve ever found. Everyone likes to find a buckle but, without access to identifying data, they’re not prized like coins or other interesting artefacts. This book gives us all the chance to change that. Now we can bring home our buckles and come to know these fine finds for what they actually are, and that’s what real detecting is all about.

DON’T MISS THE CURRENT ISSUE! Not one purse loss but two, it’s always thrilling to find, see or hear of someone unearthing a purse loss and especially so when both the original contents and parts of the preserved fabric are recovered. Over a few years Wayne was lucky enough to locate two such finds with coins involving two monarchs called George. Treasure Hunting magazine – helping you get the most out of your hobby since 1977.

WONDERFUL INCREASE IN TREASURE FINDS

Finds classed as Treasure are on the rise across England, according to recently released figures for last year - 2024. Over 1500 such finds were recorded which is both an amazing and positive factor in relation to our brilliant hobby and a sure indicator of the important metallic history unearthed and which still remains below our feet. This has caused intense media interest as it should do and amongst many others in the hobby it was an immense honour and privilege to be asked for my opinions on this matter. As the hobby's popularity increases, it becomes increasingly important to record correctly both Treasure finds and those in other categories. Always follow the proper guidelines, respect landowners’ permissions, and report any finds correctly.

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT WEEKEND
Once again I've seen some superb finds made over it too. One was made by a good friend Pete with whom I share a few Cambridgeshire sites and over the years have struck up a good-natured competitive aspect with. He knows full well how long I have desired to find a gold milled coin. And today he found a one a lovely George III third guinea on one of our sites and no doubt took great delight in sending me the pics. It's his first ever gold milled. I spoke to him on the phone and we both chuckled - made me think 45 years or so ago I'd have been well jealous of him - but with age comes a mellowing (Not always maturity though LOL). And so now its just a pure pleasure to be able to see such finds and no longer relevant is who actually makes them. Good job too as in my current job I'd be forever jealous looking at what you guys find. Safe journeys home for those who've travelled far and and a good afternoon washing finds for those who haven't. Hope many of you are smiling as much as Pete undoubtedly is - Best Jules.
