Reader Finds through all your efforts has now become a very strong and established element of the contents of Treasure Hunting magazine. First initiated some five years ago they have since expanded from one page to four.
Apart from the delight of seeing your find published this section also benefits other readers whose identical and similar complete and ‘partefact’ finds have often been identified as a result. As we all know this hobby isn’t all about gold and silver (despite our desires), although of course both are welcome in this section and so almost any detecting find is qualified to appear here. Your first Viccy penny, broken hammered, fibula section, Roman coin, even an interesting shot gun cartridge tip, all are welcome and are indeed make a good reflection of our hobby as a whole.
