Anyone done any #MetalDetecting around #Warrnambool?
I think this #coin is #Portuguese maybe? No idea of the date.
A tiny silver thing that is about sixpence sized.
Colin PurringtonAnyone have opinions about brands and features of metal detectors? I've wanted one for my entire life and my birthday is coming up in July. #MetalDetector #MetalDetecting #detectoring
Martin RundkvistI have a debate piece out about metal detectorists as citizen scientists in Sweden's foremost pop-sci magazine.

The Jönköping municipality silver hoard looters are being prosecuted. They went metal detecting on a hillside next to Ölmstad church without a plan or a permit, found a hoard, couldn't report it because they knew they'd end up in court. Eventually they came forward. Stupid activity, stupid legislation.

Grävde upp unik silverskatt från vikingatiden – nu åtalas tre män
Två män hittade en unik silverskatt, men istället för att lämna in den till Länsstyrelsen behöll de den, och ska enligt åklagaren ha försökt att sälja skatten. Till slut lämnade de ändå in den via ett anonymt ombud – och nu åtalas tre personer för grovt fornminnesbrott. – Jag skäms för vår okunskap, säger en av de åtalade till SVT.
CoinOfNoteThere might not be too many ancient coins to find in #Australia, but metal detectorists can still find some interesting things - like this Japanese 100 Mon coin uncovered from a gold rush-era campsite in Victoria: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n09.html#article19
One of my shortest articles is on one of these coins: https://coinofnote.com/japan-100-mon/

Global MuseumMedieval seal with Roman stone is a 'special find'.
A metal detectorist has discovered a "really special" medieval seal matrix, with a Roman carved gemstone at its centre.
The discovery was made at Gosfield, just north of Braintree, Essex, in September last year and has been declared treasure by a coroner.

Sweden's biggest daily newspaper runs a big feature on my collaboration with amateur metal detectorists.
