Detecting in Old Buckenham

Discovering the local past

The Norfolk Heritage Recovery Group (NHRG) returned to visit Old Hall Farm on Saturday 25 August to detect on two different fields to those they were on last year. They found many more interesting objects which were then put on display so that villagers could go to the farm up Harlingwood Lane on Saturday afternoon and see what had been discovered.

Some, like this old coin, were very small

If you missed this dig, on Saturday 8 September the NHRG will be setting up near the Hargham Road end of Fen Street on land kindly made available by Stephen Askew. Once again, villagers are invited to come along and view any finds recovered on the day. These will be displayed in the dig registration tent. Someone will be on hand to help with identification and interpretation of what’s been discovered. The finds can be viewed from 12.30pm to 4.30pm in the registration tent accessed from the grassed area about 100 yards on the right going down Fen Street from the Hargham Road end.
