Sorry Bill ... nothing yet!

English detectorists weren't stumped and have contributed a few more examples for Brian's second book.
See the updates.

Brian Meilak has produced V2 of his Cricket Buckles and I have updated my blog.
He has included the examples supplied by Stephen Grey and Matt Bullimore and many from the UKDFD.
