As we reported in a previous article, two Bronze Age axes were sent anonymously to the National Museum of Ireland last month. As it is illegal to search for archaeological artefacts with a metal detector in Ireland, the sender was concerned about criminalisation. After being challenged by the archaeologists and assured that he was not facing any penalties, he eventually turned himself in and brought the archaeologists to the "crime" scene.

The National Museum of Ireland recently received a package containing two perfectly preserved Bronze Age axes. The donor was an anonymous metal detectorist who wanted to share his common cultural heritage, but at the same time fears criminalisation - in Ireland, metal detecting is banned and carries a heavy fine and imprisonment. It is one of the countries where, thanks to a strict law, the vast majority of finds end up in privatecollections, and people who would like to cooperate in safe circumstances prefer to search in secret.

A few days ago a very nice and unique find appeared on LP. Since we were looking for the identification, I finally called the finder and added a small interview to the find.

Fans of pure analogs, a class of detectors that have now died out, will see a new detector in a few days. Even though Golden Mask has also been concentrating on making digitals, it has still come up with a new version of the most popular analogue detector of today, the GM4. You can see the first details in the article. The first detectors will arrive this week!

The rare ring was discovered during an archaeological research carried out by researchers from the National Institute of Archaeology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in the citadel of the medieval fortress of Kokalyan Urvich. The ring was lying in a carved tomb from the late 14th century and is directly linked to the ruler.
