Martyn Johnson

Martyn Johnson is an author, metal detectorist and historian. He lives in the beautiful village of Wentworth in South Yorkshire. He was born in Darfield, some five-and-a-half miles north-east of Wentworth, the son of a coal miner. He left school at the age of fifteen and took up employment as a blacksmith. His work changed dramatically four years later when he joined the Sheffield City Police, where he served as a ‘beat bobby’ at Attercliffe in the east-end of Sheffield until 1969. A two year spell in the CID followed but Martyn found that he missed grassroots policing and returned to the beat for a further seven years. Martyn is a well-known metal detectorist and has appeared on many BBC Radio Sheffield programmes talking about his hobby.
