Treasure Hunting

There’s an unbelievable amount of treasure under the ground just
waiting to be discovered.

Throughout history, armies have invaded the British Isles and the
resulting wars, battles and skirmishes have resulted in countless
valuables and the remains of war being scattered on the ground
only to disappear below the surface.

For many years people would bury their valuables to keep them
safe, and often they went to their graves with the knowledge of
the secret place where the loot was hidden.

Then there are everyday accidental losses, a broken bracelet,
coins that fall from the pocket, a ring which slips off a finger.
Imagine this happening somewhere every day multiplied by
millions of people over the thousands of years since metal was
invented.

There’s no shortage of things left to be discovered and more and more treasures are being unearthed
by metal detectorists every year. The fascination of finding things is what they tell us about our history
and for the lucky few their finds can be of immense value.

A fascinating hobby with the
added thrill of finding treasure

…the unsung
heroes of the
UK’s heritage.

This is what David Lammy, the Minister
for Culture said as he praised the role
responsible metal detectorists are
playing in preserving the country’s
heritage by reporting their finds through
the Portable Antiquities Scheme
(PAS). Treasure finds have increased
threefold and 93% of these finds have
been found by metal detector owners.
Detectorists are finding more than ever
before and more of it is ending up in our
local, regional and national museums.

Treasure hunting gets you out into the great
outdoors with a mission - to unearth the
wealth that lies underfoot. Fields, woodland,
beaches, even your own back garden all
contain valuable and interesting things from
the past just waiting to be discovered. The first
time you unearth a coin or artefact from long
ago, ponder over its origins and how it came
to be lost, you will understand the MAGIC OF
TREASURE HUNTING.
