Cleaning Coins & Artefacts
Cleaning Coins & Artefacts (conservation, restoration, presentation), by David Villanueva, sets out to show you what you can safely do to clean & preserve metal detector finds. Whilst recognising that finds of significant monetary or historical value are best left to experts there is much that can be done to preserve, conserve and display your finds.

Price: £10.00

More Information
Site research, it seems, is one of the more neglected aspects of our hoddy. Why should one field be productive of finds year after year and yet the next field be totally barren? The answer is past human activity, and David Villanueva shows in this book simple ways, through map and documentation research, how to locate such activity. The methods are clearly explained and often require no more than an hour or two spent at the local library or on the internet.

Price: £20.00

More Information
Using rare 18th & 19th century sources, David Villanueva has drawn on over 30 years experience in metal detecting and historical research to compile this exciting guide to thousands of potentially successful detecting sites throughout the United Kingdom, with histories stretching back hundreds or even thousands of years.
