There have only been a few cases of Treasure TROVE since the Treasure Act was introduced back in 1996/7. The ancient rules of Treasure TROVE were incorporated into the Treasure Act. Think they just mean Treasure.

It qualified as Treasure under the Act, but only the coroners inquest can actually declare it as Treasure. Since it never reached inquest (as it was disclaimed) it was only ever potential Treasure.

Super article this, thanks for sharing Phil

The database is on maintenance only at the moment Phil as Mary Chester Kadwell the ICT contact is on maternity leave. For general ideas it will probably be best to contact the PASt explorers outreach officer Clem Cooper at ccooper@britishmuseum.org

Personal comment, but in a similar vein; I am concerned at the amount of our National Heritage that may be going out of the country following metal detecting rallies these days, with no sign of an export licence to legalise it or track what is going.

Beat me to it Tom :-)

Interesting finds. Three "once in a lifetime" experiences then, thank goodness for reincarnation ;-)

Has anyone tried this App yet?

Here's a great 3D image of a Bronze Age Sussex Loop. It has been produced via one of the Crowd Sourcing initiatives running at the BM.

Thanks Yeti, useful reference material. Any idea what it is an extract from?

Thanks Dioz, It looks like Spurling could well be the man. May well be giving a presentation on finds from the site to the local history society later in the year. If I mention the button, I'll credit you.

Cheers
