What’s new in this issue?

Other highlights to look out for are that more Viking gold has been found in the Isle of Man, Adrian Marsden researches ‘A penny of Guthrum: the rehabilitation of a Viking warlord, Peter Wollweber writes a ‘Tale of a Late Medieval Mount and David Villanueva continues his series on Detecting Research Secrets specifically looking at ‘Locating Productive Sites with Map Overlays’. 

And lastly, in our technical article this month Detecting In Depth discusses ‘The Digits of Deception’. Of course, there’s much more to inspire and inform you within the covers of this edition.
