Finds from the gold stater field

[robfinds]

Of course I went back to the field where I found the stater (this time armed with a spade). I dug a small trench, where I found the coin. Nothing in the trench, so I widened the search, detecting in the general area. Straining my ears and digging every faint signal. When you search like this, you soon find out, there's a lot of metal in the soil. No other staters came to light. These finds though did. Two hammered silver coins, both Henry III, 1247-72. The full one looks like Newcastle mint, moneyer Adam. Also a fragment of something in silver, probably Medieval. The back of the object is hollow, and not decorated.

Would have been impressive complete Colin. Don't think it's worth declaring.

Now, now you should give them a try because haven't anything to do really.

Great day once again, liking the silvers.

Plenty of other stupid people clogging the Treasure act system up, declaring stupid items that they never will keep. But some people just don't have any common sense.

True Colin, also for some, it's simply a vanity project.

Wouldn't it be the job of the Flo to say Aye or Nay to most of the declared finds to weed out the stupid and speed things up? I can see following the letter of the law doesn't make a whole lot of sense either. I just got my letter back on a silver Tudor clothing fastener and it took two years to go through the process of being undeclared treasure.

You answered your own question, two years is rediculous. If it never went to a court hearing it should have took no longer than three months.
