What’s new in this issue?
Searcher team member Tom Lucking exclusively reveals how events unfolded when they discovered an internationally significant Iron Age hoard. As it wouldn’t have been found without a metal detector (and it’s such an amazing find), I felt it was really worth celebrating on the cover.
We also have the 2024 Nations’ Greatest Find competition nominations, which looks to be another hard judging task. Other highlights include a Bronze Age hoard discovered on a charity dig by Simon Browning and a gold aureus found in Wales by Paul McLoughlin.
Our technical piece this month is a field test on the new Minelab Vanquish 360, which looks to be a great machine, and Permission Impossible Part 2 is on Gaining & Keeping Permission by David Villaneuva, providing advice on one of the biggest hurdles in this hobby, and is well worth a read.
