History is full of things we’re pretty sure about.


This isn’t one of them.


A Brief History of Probables is the first volume from The Misattributed Curator, bringing together a collection of genuine metal detecting finds, dubious interpretations and confidently incorrect conclusions.


Each object has been carefully catalogued, formally classified and assigned a completely plausible history, supported by reconstructed illustrations.


Inside you’ll encounter unknown technologies, unusual personal accessories, questionable military equipment and other objects whose true purposes have been unnecessarily reconsidered.


Part reference guide, part creative speculation, A Brief History of Probables celebrates the strange, the ordinary and the things that probably weren’t used for what we think.


For detectorists, history enthusiasts and anyone who prefers a good story to actual truth.
