Second, the hoard was recovered in two stages (illustrating the proper approach to a site where something valuable has been found). Third, there are photos of the area where the hoard was buried. This is a great opportunity for all treasure hunters to remember the typical features of such locations. Continue reading →

Using a large coil without experience often leads to digging a lot of holes (many and deep), while the finds often fall short of expectations. The coil shouldn’t be too small or too large—it should be suited for specific conditions. Here’s an example. Continue reading →
