The Searcher Magazine

What’s new in this issue?
EXCLUSIVELY, on our cover this month is a sensational siliquae hoard discovered by the Ninth region MDC … it’s their eleventh hoard to date (but watch this space!). Dan Dawson recounts how events unfolded over several days, working hand in hand with the local archaeologists. Other highlights are a stunning Medieval sword pommel found in the north east of England. It’s copper alloy but beautifully decorated and noted to be of Regional Importance on the PAS database. Kent FLO Andrew Richardson reports on the Nations’ Greatest Finds competition’s most significant artefact – an Anglo Saxon pressblech from Lynsted. Greg Livermore shares how he found his first Roman coin hoard and Adrian Marsden revisits an Anglo-Saxon thrymsa from Norfolk. Our technical piece this month from Neil Ham and Scott Sibbald is about the FIVE golden rules – not to be missed! And finally, Ross Hignett & Cathy Wollweber report on Midweek Searchers’ rare opportunity to search on historic National Trust land.
