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.

WEEKEND FINDS
Had some superb finds sent in over the last two days - crikey ladies and gents you’ve been busy - thank you as always - I went out into the glorious autumnal fields of Essex today - my turn to share a few of the fascinating finds that I saw today - plenty of hammereds including a reale of Ferdinand and Isabella and a Henry III penny - the decorative book cover die stamp was intriguing as was the late Roman early Anglo-Saxon inverted sw****ka brooch - only ever seen one of these before in the field found by my good buddy Dave Stuckey some 25 years ago - love that ring and dot eh? Hope all of you had a great weekend - All the best Jules.

ANOTHER WEEKEND IS UPON US
And no doubt those of us attending digs or just plodding about on our own on new or old perms are steeped in that pre coil swinging excitement. Wondering just what treasures will be unearthed over the next couple of days - It’s been yet another amazing week for us here too seeing many of your amazing finds and sharing your experiences in making them.
WONDROUS THINGS
There are some truly wondrous things in store for readers of future magazine issue that’s for sure. As always thank you to everyone for sharing such things both past and present. On the topic of sharing in our great hobby if you make a find over the weekend or have one you’ve not previously had published - maybe from years back - from a single fibula to a purse loss of hammereds or something perhaps far more modern. Maybe you’ve had something identified by PAS you’d like to tell others about - it would be great to hear from you on [email protected] - Finally thank you to everybody for your dedication, commitment, encouragement, expertise and determination to uncover things hidden so all may see them - Best and good luck all Jules.

BRITISH MUSEUM - TUDOR HEART APPEAL
I don’t think many of us will forget the press release announcing detectorist Charlie Clarke’s stunning 2019 unearthing of a Tudor 75 linked gold and enamelled chain with heart-shaped pendant. A truly amazing discovery weighing in at 300 grams of pure gold. The artefact had been connected to Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon as evidenced by the initials ‘H’ and ‘K’ - it’s small size indicates the possibility of being worn by a lady - but in reality it’s precise function is unknown and it may wellhave been a trophy prize given at one of Henry’s favoured jousting events.
APPEAL TO RAISE £3.5 MILLION
Currently the British Museum is hosting a public campaign appeal to raise £3.5 Million by April 2026 to save the artefact for the nation and has already received a single donation of £500,000. This wonderful detecting find will be on public display until April in the museum’s Gallery 2 so well worth a visit if you can. What a worthy cause connected to such an awesome find - a find no doubt already responsible for encouraging us all to get on back out there as well as stimulating others to try out this brilliant hobby. Treasure Hunting magazine were invited to the British Museum’s original press release back in January 2023 where we met Charlie the finder and could but just gawp at what he had found - truly stuff of dreams and let’s hope such magnificence is able to stay where it belongs for so many others to enjoy presently and in the future. All the best Jules.
