Re: Charles 1 silver ring
Plenty of Royal parks around London used for their pleasure, maybe it wasn't a very obedient hawk and decided to have an away day or two.

Re: Charles 1 silver ring
It's not a ring, but a vervel, it is tied to the hawks leg to show who owns the bird.

Re: Thefts of stone and lead.
Good to see that nighthawking incidents have fallen by 9%, it's a start in the right direction at least.

Re: Battle of Hastings hoard goes to sale
The coins were around the late 600s to 750. Little evidence of settlement of that period exists there and with such a short dating period it seems that a market is the most probable theory.

Re: Battle of Hastings hoard goes to sale
Saxon markets were called a Wic, hence Hampton Wick, Hamwic (Southampton) and Garwic about 20 miles from me in Lincolnshire that is well known amongst detectorists here and now the beards as it has produced around 90 Saxon coins of the gold and silver varieties in one field, with a few strays in nei...

Re: Finds to be purchased
They are not being purchased by taxpayers money but by grants and other fund raising streams as I see it from that article.
Hoards should always stay together in my opinion.

Re: Council won’t pay for brooch
The only exception would be if the farmer is a tenant of the Council and then it becomes complex. I don't agree. If the Council is the land owner then they already have joint ownership of the treasure item, the tenant farmer has no say in the matter. This situation would suit any Council in this po...

Re: Council won’t pay for brooch
The Council are a third party with no ownership interest or part in the agreement between landowner and finder and therefore have no ability to appeal or reject the valuation. That's what this thread is all about, it seems that this particular Council is trying to dictate the value and ignoring, or...

Re: update on the stolen viking hoard from leominster
Not sure this program will shine a very good light on the hobby after I saw a trailer for it the other night. Especially when it has someone saying that it was a lie that we are only interested in the discovery of history and were really in it for what we can sell things for!
