What’s new in this issue? Our cover exclusive this month is an extremely impressive Medieval posnet in terrific condition. It was discovered by Malcolm Weale and Searcher Team memb ers Robert Turrell and Tom Lucking were able to go and record and report on its excavation. Other highlights are one of the first single coin finds to be classed under the new Treasure Act Significant category. It’s an Alfred the Great penny, importantly uncovered in south Wales which makes it highly significant. The Stalbridge Hoard was nominated as one of our Nations’ Greatest Finds and has recently been acquired by the Dorset Museum. Finder John Belgrove recounts from the day of discovery to visiting the hoard in the museum. Show more
