The Searcher - April 2024

Our cover story is an important hoard of 122 Anglo-Saxon pennies that were found by two detectorists, in February 2019 near Braintree in Essex.

Our exclusives are a Viking hoard from Lewis, discovered by Stephen Macleod, an unusual hoard of WWII dog tags and three gold coins found by Stuart and Jennie Chambers.

Other highlights include my interview with Ian Richardson, Senior Treasure Registrar and Daniel Spencer reviews Arteseal Paraloid B-72 for those looking at conserving their collection. Of course, there’s much more in this edition to inform and inspire you.
