Re: GPR
Back in the late 1980s they called such devices scanners and were supposed to help find buried treasure over long distances by enabling the user to identify a navigational fix point. The fix point would be where 2 lines drawn at right angles to one another crossed. Each line was established by the m...

Re: henry coles treasure hunt at studely castle
I agree with the vast majority of comments above. I was particularly surprised at the lack of decent finds given the history of the location. This then gets you wondering how archaeologists arrive at the large numbers of historical finds thought to have been plundered by nighthawks. I don't condone ...

Re: Definition of treasure trove to be recast
Some Roman artefacts in any metal to become reportable. Wonder whether common items such as bronze fibulas will be included. It would be such a waste of everyone's time if they were.

Re: £120MILLION in old pound coins are still missing
I'm pretty sure that a large number of them are in the fields used for the Glastonbury Festival.

Re: fake bomb detector man gets out of jail early
How come he is living in a smart expensive property if all he owns is a lawnmower? Probably stashed some money away in a secret account or signed over property ownership to his wife. Good rate of pay to stay in prison, less than 900 extra days for over £7M. That's over £7k per day. Personally, I thi...

Absurd levels of Compensation
A couple who were found to have been wrongly arrested and detained for 36 hours for claims that they operated a drone over Gatwick Airport have been awarded £200k compensation. This appears to be an absurdly large sum for what they went through. Almost £6k per hour in detention. What can I do to get...

Lockdown rules easing
With the easing of lockdown restrictions on outdoor group activities on Monday 1 June, groups of detectorists should be able to detect as long as they maintain social distancing. This should enable club digs to resume.

Clearly not made of just lead if they were recovered using a magnet.
