- Metal-detecting hobbyists interested in Flemish finds
- Worth noticing
- The escalin feature covers its reading and the effects of the soil, then labels an accompanying story as invented.
Field notes
The homepage separates the finds catalogue from a diary and recognition section, and offers Dutch and English navigation. Catalogue entries give coin names, dates or date ranges, regions, and materials. The featured escalin entry says it will consider value, interpretation, and soil effects; it also distinguishes those subjects from an accompanying story the author says was invented.
