No never.
I'm photophobic (Most pictures of me only exist to capture the fish), so moving pictures would be a thousand times worse.

Nice day out and about without busting any ankles.

You may have touched on this before, but these finds don't have to be reported since they aren't considered precious metal?
Thanks in advance. PP55

It's not because they have precious metals, otherwise the Roman Silver would qualify. It's because single gold or silver coins don't count.
Basically it has to be over 300 years old with 10% gold or silver content but not single coins, only 2 or more in close proximity.
I report all potential Treasure items as per the Act, so you will see it stated in my post.
We only get about 3 cases a year, but had 5 last year.

I know of one area that are without a Flo even, the whole process seems to have been mired down to a snails crawl over this past year.

As always, you and your Dad made a great variety of finds Cru.
Love the detail on this coin.

Getting ready to head out myself, just waiting for the temps to get above the freezing mark here.

Basically last year all the FLO's were on other duties, most were closed to receiving items.

I see... I'm the same way. I've tried multiple times to record some video on a couple of my hunts just to share with all yall TNet folks and some friends but I've never been able to do it.

I dig the Roman plumb bob. Very important construction tool.
