Re: Gold stolen from British museum

I am sure there are lots more examples of donated items going missing,who is going to be held responsible or even investigate.

Re: Gold stolen from British museum

I am sure this is not an isolated incident as members on here have said items of theirs have disappeared after being handed to museums.This needs an in depth investigation into all items reported as missing around the country.

Re: more on the 5million pound hoard

The report in todays Sun manages to get it wrong by illustrating the article with a Roman coin,typical.

Re: 500 year old gold coin found by lady detectorist

I was at the rally when she found it and managed to hold it for a moment.When found it was folded over in three places like a tricorn hat,she was thrilled and the coin has been featured in the Searcher.

Detectorists

Looks like they are repeating the last series on BBC 2 tonight at 10.00pm.Although the TV mag says new series it has not been on BBC 2 before.Must be worth another look just to whet the appetite for the new series later this year. :g38:
