Industry news, important finds, rallies, and more - free every week!
Hi, and welcome to the latest edition of Metal Detecting News.
RCM No Frills event 1 is now in the bag, it was fantastic to see everyone, and help to raise a ton of money for such a great cause. Well done Gary and team!
Gary and a few of the other miscreants I bumped into at RCM! Tx to Stephen for the pics!
Was a bit of a Roman weekend with one field in particular producing 20+ coins… even I managed to rustle up a Roman, unfortunately it was a hobnail not a coin ;-)
See you at DETECTIVAL!
Here’s hoping for another spectacular event, hopefully with less hangovers!
As always, a massive thanks to our amazing sponsors, RUTUS, Treasure Hunting magazine, Composite Cleaning Pencil and The Big Detecting Show for their continued support.
