Discovering A Medieval Coin Hoard - Part 1 & 2


Recommended Posts

derek-mcLennan.jpg Some of you may recognize this guy from the Equinox videos - Derek MeLennan. Derek and his wife Sharon have 12 years of combined detecting experience and for the last few years have used a wide range of Minelab machines, from the G0-FIND series through to the GPX 5000 for personal detecting and to promote responsible detecting through their not-for-profit company, Beyond The Beep.  Since February 2015, the couple have been regularly providing outdoor learning experiences in schools, and they have also created and implemented a detecting programme for veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Here you have a two part story on what it is like to discover a 700 year old hoard of silver coins! Well written articles with great photos - enjoy!
