Welcome to the Website
As I carefully folded back the neatly cut turf, it was as if I had opened up a portal to the Bronze Age...
I do not know exactly what happened that night. One person on their own might have imagined it, but when two people simultaneously witness the same event there has to be something to it...
It was the last thing that I expected to see in the Shropshire countryside. It was futile to try and run, as I was no match for the power and agility of the animal that stood before me...
Buckingham's eyes fixed upon the old man like a hawk after its prey: "May a curse be upon thee for thy treachery," he snarled....
Poor old Mrs Brown's house took a direct hit. I laughed as her wooden leg came flying over the rooftops, clattering as it bounced off the rusty corrugated roof of our toilet at the bottom of the garden...
A rather large. well-endowed lady appeared in the doorway. Why I suddenly thought about Zeppelins I can't imagine...
John had not believed me when I told him that a Mr Crapper had invented the flush toilet, so it came as no surprise that he would not believe the origin of Zippo lighters...

The Treasure Hunters
I have always been very passionate about history. As a child I was continually digging for buried treasure; due in no small part to having been kept in a deep hole in the back garden by my parents.
With the advent of the metal detector however, my desire to find the artefacts that our ancestors left behind took on an even greater significance.
It was in the late 1980's that I met John England; a man who was just as passionate about the past as I was. We became good friends.
John and I have experience the high's and low's of metal detecting; the euphoria of a great find to the misery of coming away empty-handed and soaking wet.
Through our shared hobby we became involved with the Time Team and the Soviet Army, and our exploits have featured on television and in books.
Ours truly is a fascinating pastime and I try to reflect this in my stories. All are based around real-life events, or are factual accounts.
Share with us now the exciting, absurd, frustrating and sometimes weird, world of the treasure hunter.
