STATERS GALORE, A PILE OF HAMMEREDS, MY FIRST ROMAN SILVER, THE GLINT OF GOLD ETC
Those are just a selection of Email titles received over the last year from finders. And sure do raise the old blood pressures here at Treasure Hunting magazine, but we love it. Of course, not all emails are quite as dramatic, simply because our hobby is so variable and its this variation which is so amazing. The marvellous thing is the huge amount of potential to find and just what you might find is almost limitless. If you’ve had a great weekend away at an event and want to share your experiences, or a good day out with mates, or on your own, if you’ve battered your ‘Bucket List’, observed something that could be useful to other detectorists, made a series of finds that are important to local or national history, please do let us know. And if you’d like to write an account about it that’d be superb, as its this very sort of thing that keep the magazine, fresh, vibrant, and relevant. With Weekenders or Club digs please don’t forget to mention the organisers and the clubs involved too as that’s very important to give credit where its due.
AUTHORS OLD AND NEW
We welcome and strongly encourage all authors old and potential new and have a large selection of features to suit all skills so again get in touch if this is something you would like to consider. Another fantastic aspect are the communications from people who just want a chat about something, or perhaps some help with an identification, that’s always both an honour and a pleasure, so keep those calls and emails coming. At present the weather is warm to Sub-Saharan and the various UK soils have hardened in most cases to a level more suitably requiring the administration of a pick axe - Nonetheless, dedication and commitment will undoubtedly be shown amidst such seasonal stresses by the band of ladies and gentlemen out and about over the coming weekend. So if you just want a natter, to share a find or whatever I can be contacted on [email protected] or Mobile 07715 680584. What will your next signal reveal? Good luck and all the best from all of us at Treasure Hunting magazine.

WHAT WILL YOU FIND THIS BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND?
Well it might just be a handful of hammereds like these, but the possibilities are pretty limitless as many know and some of us such as the new starters have hopefully yet to find out. But no doubt the sheer thrill of such possibilities is one of the things that always keeps us going – A brilliant hobby offering everyone the chance and it has to be said the privilege of being able to touch the past by the finds you make. You might unearth your first Roman coin, first hammered, belt that bucket list good and proper or your first ring-pull - the latter which has or will be repeated many times over the years. Whatever your experience level we wish everyone a brilliant weekend - especially those venturing into the fields, the finds possibilities and the thrills experienced are endless in their potential - or maybe you end up having a pocketful of rubbish - no matter that's just the way it goes - at least you were out in the fields enjoying the sights - you made the effort and who knows what the next signal will bear in the future.
GREAT WORK
Keep up the great work ladies and gents and as always I would love to hear about what you have found in previous years, recently or have yet to find over the coming weekend – Maybe you’d even like to consider it for possible publication in Treasure Hunting magazine which would be marvellous. Please feel welcome to contact me on [email protected] or Mobile 07715 680584 - Good Luck The hammereds pictured here are all from my collection and I wish all of you many more additions to your own over the next few days - Best Jules.

DON’T MISS THE CURRENT ISSUE! - GORDON BAILEY - SOME FINDS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM - PART 2
The name of Gordon Bailey I’m certain needs no introduction in our great hobby and we are delighted to have him write an article on a topic for which he is a renowned authority - Finds Identification. As you become more experienced you begin to realise some finds are somewhat confusing and difficult to identify and there are also the old regulars that continue to be misidentified year on year. In this second part once again Gordon covers and dispels some of the myths around the coins and artefacts that we find. These are superb features well worthy of retention as a reference source in themselves.

ANOTHER GREAT DETECTING WEEKEND
Hoping you all shared in having such, be it experiences, finds or both. Lulu and Steve two members of Crusade with a Spade certainly did, unearthing a small hoard of Harold I pennies (One pictured) at a club event. And I saw loads of other clubs, members and individuals posting up and sharing their successes on social media too. Of course sharing also applies to anyone involved in this wonderful pastime, hobby etc call it what you will. And on that note if you have had a recent or even perhaps a find made many years ago or an experience you would care to share, then we would be absolutely delighted to hear from you. I can be contacted on 07715 680584 or email at [email protected] if you’d like to discuss any such matters. Thank you to all those past, present and in the future for sharing your successes. You can read all about Lulu and Steve's amazing find in a future issue of Treasure Hunting magazine – helping you get the most out of your hobby since 1977. www.treasurehunting.co.uk
