Metal Detecting – All You Need to Know

In 2010 Dave Crisp made headlines around the world when he found the largest single hoard of Roman coins ever (The Frome Hoard, 52,503 coins). He has been a passionate metal detectorist for over 30 years. Here he has written a guide in his own unique style to help newcomers to the hobby get started correctly, with advice on what they need to know and sections showing what they might find.

He has also included a complete chapter about the events surrounding the Frome Hoard, from finding a few Roman silver coins to the discovery of the hoard and the subsequent events that followed.
