Suffolk Detectorist
A random look back at 30 years of metal detecting in Suffolk.
A mix of common finds, and some special.
Enjoy.

- It is more than likely that this coin passed through the hands of someone who was protesting against the crowns authority. (disgruntled catholics) This half crown has a cross deliberately scratched across her face. Lion initial mark AD 1566-1567
- My final selection for #Alphabetchallenge #WeekSforSilver All part of the detecting process, all these silver/silver gilt items will soon be on their way to FLO @ Suffolk archaeology & @findsorguk.bsky.social Each has been reported within the required 14 days, and will be dropped off together.
- No mistaking that portrait, what an incredible window at Melford Hall. Elizabeth 1st, she was entertained here in 1578. Commissioned sometime in the 19th century.

View full threadDid you get the tour? I recall waiting on that grass (in baking sun) for them to arrive. Also, is that the house where the right side is a fairly modern reconstruction?
- No, I just wandered around by myself. Possibly, I saw a notice in one of the rooms saying there was a devastating fire in that wing, in the 40's I think.
- Really annoyed right now. So many people do the right thing, but not the theiving criminals who metal detected this Scheduled Monument on the Esk. They not only illegally detected, they couldnt even be arsed to replace the turves. Which I have now...but who knows what evidence they've taken.
- Not good news for those of us that do our very best to do the right thing 😔
- I've been there! 😁
- First time for me, and it's only 20 miles away 😂 I shall probably return 😊
- Cycle service point, Market Hill, Woodbridge.
