Ever since I was but a small boy I have had a fascination with collecting things. When I was younger it was anything from small rodent skulls, owl pellets to a curious shaped stone, It seems according to members of my family that I was always the little kid armed with a net investigating rock pools whilst on holiday- terrorising people with decaying crab legs and a whole host of other fascinating collectables. However it was back in the early 1970`s that I first heard of and then actually encountered an individual using something which looked most intriguing. It was called a metal detector. How I longed to find a Roman coin like this individual had showed me but it would be some considerable time before I could purchase such a metal locating device of my own. Now after all these years I still simply relish the honour of being able to handle ancient antiquities and coins from bygone ages. In 2003 I co-authored the best-selling book “The Beginners Guide to Metal Detecting” and of course I still write regular metal detecting articles for Treasure Hunting Magazine.view less
