A random look back at 30 years of metal detecting in Suffolk. A mix of common finds, and some special. Enjoy. Also @sdetectorist on Instagram.

Fabulous house 😍

I'd love to get in there, and have a nose around, see what's in there, and what's hidden ☺️

The large blue stone is a sapphire. And there would have been 4 emeralds in the outer settings, only one remains.

As well as the incredible Mary groat, I also on this same day found two early medieval coin fragments.

A Carolingian denier of Charles the Bald, mint of Angers, AD 864-877

A viking silver St Edmund memorial penny, AD 895-910

I thought it did come from French but hadn't looked it up. Cheers πŸ‘

My best groat of Queen Mary was found this day, 7th October 2022.

Cheers. You should see the bit of steel below it. 18 inch x 6 inch and around 30 ft long.

Thank you. Been at it a few weeks now. Just helping another chippy as timbers as long and heavy. Far easier with two of us.
