On Friday we went to the local museum to meet the Local FLO to collect some finds that we had taken in to be logged on the Portable Antiques Scheme that operates here in the uk https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/1132458

So have added pictures taken from the web site giving details of the finds…, I suppose I should go thru my previous Todays Finds posts and update them…. but…. im taking the easier option! 😆 xx

You must be feeling like a 🦋 after getting such a detailed write up on each piece.
It sure adds a next level of special to every single one.
Congratulations on your awesome recoveries/photos.


BTW
(Just to let you know TNet has a sub forum called "What is it") 😉

Congratulations on your fantastic achievements
Thanks again for sharing the beautiful details
 

I call "banner" for going the extra mile in ID's and then posting for us to share .
Ahh bless you! Thank you… im fairly sure if my Philip and Mary shilling didnt make banner, then nothing i will ever find will! xx 🤗
 

Fascinating information about all those articles! It is wonderful to have the attitude and system for dealing with your finds in England. Something similar could be such a useful resource in the former colonies by the Atlantic shore! Your system is encouraging metal detectorists, treating them with respect and building a database that will be valuable to historians and for general knowledge of your past that would be lacking otherwise.
 

Spotted a couple of mistakes;

'Stud' is an Iron Age Toggle, similar;
'Spur' is part of a Gag Loop (harness equipment)
'Bracelet' is part of a Georgian shoe buckle
 

Not sure how many votes take to make banner but this needs to be up there.
