About the Author
Gordon Bailey, born in London in 1944 and later based in Essex, has been a central figure in the world of metal detecting for over 50 years. His fascination with history began at fifteen, when he was already trading coins and small antiques at Brick Lane Market.
Among the earliest pioneers of the hobby, Gordon purchased his first metal detector in 1970 and went on to become one of its most respected authorities. He has published numerous guides and articles focused on artefact identification and continues to share his expertise through illustrated talks to clubs and associations across the UK. Despite his busy schedule, Gordon still enjoys time in the field, adding to an impressive personal collection that spans nearly every period of British history.
