Essex History Fair 2006
Terry, John and I were at the Essex History Fare in July 2006 which was held in Braintree towncentre. We were in a group of three local detectorists and the Essex Finds Liaison Officer ,Caroline McDonald who had been asked by Robert Rose of Braintree Museum to host a displayfor the day.The objective for the day was to let people see and touch finds made in the areas of Kelvedon(by Terry and myself), and for Castle Hedingham and Sible Hedingham.(By detectorist JonAdkin)Our first port of call after setting up the stands, tables and finds pit was to sneak upstairs in themuseum to see the display of finds made by members of the public - which included a veryunusual gold phallus (a must see !!)After that it was back to the tables for John and me and into the finds pit for Terry.Terry was kept busy all day long with his detector and trowel in the find pit we had for thechildren - they were able detect for badges and coins in the finds pit which also contained largesherds of real roman pottery.We all had a great time and really enjoyed ourselves - and I think our visitors did too
