David Villanueva (1951- ) was born in Birmingham, England, where he grew up. In the early 1970s his mother bought him a copy of Ted Fletcher's book A Fortune Under Your Feet, which, together with David's great interest in history inspired him to buy a metal detector and take up treasure hunting as a hobby. Family stories about the origins and history behind David's Spanish surname also spawned the hobby of genealogy. A career move brought David to Whitstable in Kent, England, and it was here that David's love of history research developed into great success both in metal detecting and family history research. A little later David felt the urge to put pen to paper and started writing articles for the two British metal detecting magazines - Treasure Hunting and The Searcher – which have published more than two dozens of David's articles between them. Success in writing articles soon led to David's first book: The Successful Treasure Hunter's Essential Dowsing Manual: How to Easily Develop Your Latent Skills to Find Treasure in Abundance, published in both digital format and paperback. To date, David has written over a dozen books in the metal detecting, treasure hunting and family history genres.
The mystery of Patent and Design numbers is finally revealed.
Metal detectorists, archaeologists, field walkers and collectors invariably come across items sporting Registered Design marks or numbers and Patent Numbers, which can date back to the Victorian period. Regardless of their lack of antiquity, these finds can be very interesting, reflecting the commercial protection of inventions, techniques, and designs in the Industrial Age.
This book provides a concise and accurate summary of the system of registration codes and dates, together with sources, so that you may discover:
• what the object is
• who registered the item
• when it was registered
• what features or function enabled it to be registered
