So after a busy couple of weekends today we at last went detecting!!

Spent the morning in the “quiet” field and found a hammered and another silver coin(?) so was super happy with that. After lunch i decided to go to his field where he has found countless Romans, just to annoy him! Found a few bits so decided to head back to the truck as it started raining.. and the wind was hitting 40mph 😬…. when bang a super crisp 72 sounded in my ears.. dug nd saw the gleam of gold.. automatically assumed button.. but oh my days.. there sat a gorgeous little GOLD STATER needless to say Himself was furious that I had found it in his field… but I did get a hug and grudgingly he said “well done” 😂😂😂 ….! I havent found the same one online yet..… but wanted to show you all!!



We also found a gorgeous fibula, a dress hook, half a spur, a patterned piece, this weird lumpy bit, second pic to show you the top, little bits, chunky lead weight, tiny buckle and bit, spoon handle and modern bit, small shot, clog strap and strange lead bit, a silver tab (did the tin foil test) buttons galore, a hammered, and finally a silver disk 🤔(again passed the tin foil test) xx

What a truely awesome day we have had.. and so pleased to be able to add a gold to my already unbelievable stats this year 😎 xx

Any find can be deemed "treasure" and potentially claimed by a museum. If it is, the value would be awarded to the finder(s). The difficult part is determining what the value is on a unique item.

Yes I know, this is why I was asking. Wondering if blossom knew yet if this would be the case or not.
 

Being gold and unique, my money is on it being deemed treasure and ending up in the British Museum. It's likely to take years for the whole process to unfold.

Ah ok didn't realize it could take that long. Just figured there was a set of rules that would make it a pretty fast decision.

I wish! I've had two relatively minor items deemed treasure. One I just donated as it wasn't worth much and would cost more to have my half of the value sent to me in a bank transfer than it's value. That one took 3 years to determine. The other one has gone through most of the process, it's value has been determined, and is awaiting museum funding. Once funded, my half of the value will be sent to my bank. That may take another few months. 1 1/2 years so far..... Granted Covid delayed things, but, it's never been a quick process even before Covid. One of my hunting buddies has been waiting over 3 years now and is still waiting for funding on a more important/valuable find.
