A random look back at 30 years of metal detecting in Suffolk. A mix of common finds, and some special. Enjoy. Also @sdetectorist on Instagram.

105 miles down, 228 miles to go. Just grabbing a coffee and bite to eat on the banks of Cromarty Firth. At The Storehouse.

Athough we couldn't get to Lyness Naval Cemetry, we have however been a few times before. The last being on the 100th anniversary. Where a short service was held at the wreck site (Scapa Flow), the cemetry and finally a full service at St Magnus Cathederal, Kirkwall.

9th July 1917 HMS Vanguard was destroyed following a catastrophic explosion, whilst at anchor on Scapa Flow. 843 souls perished, along with my GG uncle, Henry (Kiff) Metcalf. Sadly we can't get to the cemetery today to pay our respects, but we will be there in spirit 😔

My favourite Scottish castle 🥰 Dunrobin Castle one of Britain’s oldest continuously inhabited houses dating back to the early 1300s, home to the Earls and later, the Dukes of Sutherland

Morning walk a bit more energetic today, clambering a mile along the rocky coast, but well worth it 😊

Is that Keswick? Don't know the lakes that well, but sort of recognise the view across the lake.
