Metal Detecting in England article from Kovel's Antiques

I have a subscription to Kovel's Antiques and they are always posting something interesting. This is a recent article from their online mag. I thought it might be interesting to the Detectorists here at CT. Has anyone found something like this?

Of course we haven't.

The US doesn't have great stuff like that

 

Hey @Hookman , What was or what part of a Sword was that ? I'm not familiar with arms .

 

Hey @Treashunt , I've found some interesting things here in *New England .

 

Okay I see now, Delete that message , LOL. It's that part that keeps their sword in place . Correct ?

 

We typically don't have great metal objects as old as that, but we do have younger metal objects that are just as cool.
I keep telling myself I'm going to get a metal detector, yet so far the wherewithal escapes me.
It's hard to justify the money it takes to get a really good one, when you know you will probably never recover it's cost by using it, although the hobby fascinates me (or is it the thought of finding long lost treasure that I find fascinating?)

 

Okay then!

 

We has an eccentric Georgian chap amongst us whom has traipsed o'er ta jolly olde England with his machine and e'en found some treasures to boot. Perhaps @lordmarcovan will fill us in on his adventures thence.

 

Member of our local coin club travels to England for a metal detector hunt/holiday once or twice a year. He's found a few interesting thing but nothing spectacular.
