What’s new in this issue?
Our EXCLUSIVE cover story is a highly significant hoard of Roman gold aurei found in Sulfolk. Team Searcher’s Robert Turrell reports on how events unfolded and Tom Lucking researches the coins that make up the hoard. Truly a find of a lifetime! Other highlights within this issue are rare a Mirror-and-casket burial discovered by Tom Licence, who examines the significance of this rare find and compares it to others found. There’s also a lovely Anglo Saxon gold and garnet pendant found by Graham Gislam and an extremely rare Saxon thrymsa, too. In this month’s Detecting in Depth, Neil Ham and Scott Sibbald’s article is ‘Don’t be hypnotised by the hole’ and in the second in the series, ‘Metal Detecting Research Secrets’ David Villanueva advises on how to best use Ordnance Survey Maps. There is, of course, much more in this issue to inform and inspire you.

The Searcher

This is a super hobby magazine, which Ive been receiving for quite a few years. Although I do not get involved as much as I used to, I still love to read other peoples successes. Keep it going. Reviewed 28 April 2020

Fantastic magazine and covers some fantastic finds Reviewed 11 March 2020

the best

I have been reading this magazine since the 80's and it is still the best for articles and news.
I particularly like I.D. and valuation desk along with the club reviews because they widen my knowledge of the artefacts out there in the fields of our historic country.
