Re: Treasure hunter pals fall out over £500,000 reward

People can be silly buggers when money is involved :g64: The reporter didn't do much factual research as the largest IA coin hoard was in 2003 by Ken Wallis near Market Harborough, around 3,000+ last time I read anything about it :g58: I bet they will be lucky enough to get a few thousand - I bet i...

Re: Man fined after Roman coin theft

Beats the punishment for the thief caught by one of the farmers in my area last....a caution !!!! He was shocked at this, reckoned he'd been caught a number of times before and because nothing had been done on those occasions he couldn't see the need for anything now !! Just waiting for the OK to ge...

Re: Uninformed reporting

Having had the priviledge of searching for a number of years on one of the more famous of English battlefields I can say that it certainly was no battlefield, a fact that could not have been proven without the use of a metaldetector.

Re: BBc breakfast news, on nighthawking

Just wonder why Time Team chose last week to repeat a particularly damaging and one sided episode involving that idiotic pair of detectorists 'robbing' a site, you all know the episode I refer to. Mmmmmm been through the mill before with this but.....'robbing' . Robbing who ? Robbing the landowner....

Re: tips on keeping records

For storing my records I use a software called DJVU (Deja-Vu). It's a little bit complicated using this system but the benefits are; less disc space used than word or pdf docs and it stores them in a 'book' that enables you to whizz through the pages.

Then if you're serious Roman Imperial coinage volumes VII, VIII and IX cover the majority of the finds we usually make but th...
