Frome Hoard declared the nation’s favourite Treasure find..........
https://finds.org.uk/news/story/290
The judges discussed the virtues of a host of Treasure finds, but after much debate eventually selected the final twenty, based on the following criteria:
1.The find should advance archaeological knowledge, whether that be of a particular period of time or for the locality in which it was found.
2.The find should have been recovered in a way that is an example of best practice. See the Code of Practice for responsible detecting https://finds.org.uk/getinvolved/guides/codeofpractice for more information.
3.The find should add value to the national collection, whether that be of a national or local museum.

Re: Frome Hoard declared nation’s favourite Treasure
Not quite sure how the criteria for judging leads to the conclusion that the hoard is the nations favourite treasure ... its a bit like the X-factor judges declaring a particular act to be the nations favourite before being put to a national vote.

Unlike some other large finds - Dave let the Archys dig it out in order to preserve all aspects of the hoard and its surroundings. Well done that man
