Detecting Books - Coin, reference, history

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guys have asked me for the reference books I use. I have so many and a bunch of out of print specialist museum publications. Below are a few of the most commonly used ones with my 'must have' pick. These are one's that are fully illustrated so you can ID finds easily.

Click on any of the links below and it takes you to the correct page on Amazon.co.uk where you can order them on line. They have the cheapest deals on books. Have then delivered to your door or ready here to pick up on your next visit to save on postage.

 
 

 

 

 

They are all great books but the 'must have' 3 Roman books are:

Roman Military equipment by Bishop

Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Broaches

Finds from Roman Aldborough
