Artefact Journal
Everything has its place, & a place for everything…
The Artefact Journal is no exception, it has been created for the sole purpose of being a dedicated recording aid to the recovered items, no matter whether you are a detectorist, digging up artefacts in a field with a Metal Detector, or participating in another form of Treasure Hunting such as dump digging, magnet fishing & even gold prospecting etc…
Every item can be recorded, & given a trackable number, from the findspot to the book, into the cabinet & visa-versa…
Field Diary
Any personal diary, written in any language is a private journal of thoughts, but in this diary, do not restrict yourself to just words, use the universal language of art, be it a line drawing with a pen or pencil, detailed artwork or even stick drawing which I tend to do, remember to keep this an open work, in so much of the fact this is a Field Diary and should reflect your feelings, & thoughts on the day’s events… Words come in many languages, any diary is a personal essay of one’s feelings, & encounters of the day, but remember you are not restricted to words, even if you just doodle, make it yours… Like any diary, it is about the author writing a personal account of the day’s events…
Artefact Journal & Field Diary
Put the two pages together & you have a conveniently grouped pair of pages, to help create an easy-to-use recording journal, with its own unique system, helping to keep the day’s findings all grouped together, with the diary to keep notes & help you to remember the day’s events, sights & sounds… This is no different to any other diary page, except it is conveniently placed within a dedicated book, for easy access, tying all the loose ends together…
I think J.R. Tolken summed up Metal Detecting… when he said, & i quote.

Welcome to the future of recording your finds…
Let me give you a brief introduction to the Artefact Journal, as this is the future of recording your finds, along with your own individual perspective being written into the Field Diary, this could be the sights and sounds you encounter along the way, or literally anything that you think off, because everything that goes into the mix of making these books, helps create a unique & personal Journey…
If as they say, knowledge is the key to power, then the Artefact Journal & Field Diary will give you that knowledge in a reflective history at your fingertips for many years to come, as you can keep track of the artefacts from different fields, farms, dig sites rally’s, private invites etc…
I personally will not write a book of national importance, & although you or I might not set the world alight with our literary skills, what we can offer though is a historical insight into the locality we dig, i believe that we will be writing a book of local interest & significance’s, about the highs and lows of being out in the field, as you find another artefact, whether it’s broken or whole, as your story unfolds about every item you find, it is only one more piece of a giant jigsaw puzzle…
A jigsaw so vast, that in our lifetime we will never complete the entire picture, so whether it is local permission or from further afield, at a rally, discarded items, a treasured item lost, genuine losses, or deliberately buried items, these all start to paint the picture of how our ancestors worked, played and even fought over our search sites…
I have built the Artefact Journal & Field Diary, a lot different to all the other books out there on the same subject, to make any book functional it has to be designed to work…
All of the same features of the previous versions of the Artefact Journal & Field Diary are featured here, the front & back covers are 320 high gloss, which is protected with a “wipe clean” clear acetate sheet, to keep all but the worst of them sticky fingerprints out…
One of the major changes outside has been to change the plastic coil, this has been changed back to the “wiro metal coil” Although the plastic coil worked brilliant, we felt this workbook “worked” better with the metal coil, as the metal coil closes “better by design onto itself” (-whereas the plastic coil, when attached to the pages, “appeared” to be able to slip off the paper… { only time will tell, we might revert back }-)
Although the plastic coil opens and closes quietly the metal coil is a bit noisier, but both the plastic and metal coils allow for the workbook to function as it should when in use, as a workbook the Artefact Journal & Field Diary can be opened out, with both pages facing you perfectly flat, whereas if the book was “perfectly bound” you would need to break its spine, to be able to get the book to lie flat enough to write in…
We have brought the price of the book down, not only due to the quantity that we have ordered, but after talking to the publishers, & without compromising the original idea and quality, we have reached an agreement whereas the new books can be retailed for £ 16.95p free pp
As stated to those who have purchased the books at the original price, this was an ongoing conversation with the publishers & you should have received your discount voucher by now, and it is open-ended, with no time limit on the redemption, all you need is your unique code, so either staple the letter onto the “purple” purchase page, with the code showing or write it into your existing journal on your notes page, so if you lose or mislay the letter with the code or cannot find the email you will always have the code & it can be matched at our end…
never forget where an artefact or coin came from with the Artefact Journal & Field Diary
As stated, the new cost of the book is £ 14.95p, this is our optimum price which we have been trying to achieve for four years, with the cost of PP still at £ 5.00p…
Nothing has changed just the price.
Quote Fred, if you require a credit card size coin / artefact photo scale, to be sent with your new book, we have a few left, and won’t be getting any more, these fit nicely into your field wallet because of their size of a credit card, or to purchase separately the cost with postage is £2.50p…
