Getting called out to block lift an in situ Roman 2nd century coin hoard found by Metal Detectives Group is a totally legimate excuse to not be doing phd work right? #hoards #ResponsibleDetecting Portable Antiquities
#FindsFriday is this incredible find! A silver tetradrachm of Alexander the Great (Alexander III, 356-323 BC). Not one I ever thought I would get a chance to record!

@andy_hazzard1 We Dig Heritage Paul Blinkhorn (CEO Atlantis Artefact Storage Co) Dr Tess Machling Owen Lazzari Dr. Lauren McIntyre 🏳️🌈 🇺🇦 Catherine Warr Paul Barford Portable Antiquities Cambridge Archaeology James Sainsbury ArchPoints Dr Mike Nevell @Archaeos0up Sorry, have been away on leave. Can't go on holiday without something happening! We are currently speaking to the finders. They immediately stopped detecting/digging when they realised they may have come across a burial #responsibledetecting
@richardhenryflo Metal Detectives Group Portable Antiquities @AnniB_OxonFLO Absolutely - you have one chance to recover this information and it elevates the find from something pretty to something amazing.
Archaeology is about recovering ALL the information we can about the past not just the artefacts
This is what #responsibledetecting should be about
The finder and landowner have both waived their reward for this Bronze Age hoard. This is immensely generous and kind and as the Museums Service we will preserve their legacy towards the greater understanding and access to #Oxfordshire 's archaeology. finds.org.uk/database/artef…

@TamiCha04388497 Roman Britain News Association for Roman Archaeology Fishbourne Roman Palace This is a 3rd century Roman strap mount please take it to your local Portable Antiquities FLO for recording so it can be used in research like my own into 'military' fittings #RecordYourFinds #ResponsibleDetecting
This interesting hoard of silver coins of Alfred the Great (some bearing the name of Plegmund, Archbishop of Canterbury) has just been acquired by The Higgins Bedford . Discovered in Central Bedfordshire, the finders didn't have permission to detect - and thus received no reward.
My #FindsFriday and #Museum30 music theme 🎶... Imagine Dragons! This Post Medieval belt hook fastener dates to AD 1550-1650 or possibly later. This example was discovered in Staffordshire and features dragon terminals with gaping mouths!

#FindsFriday is something we don't see everyday the openwork terminal of an 11th or 12th century staff! Often associated with priest's croziers they appear to have been used more widely.

We're delighted to announce the discovery of a significant Bronze Age hoard in the Scottish Borders. #Responsibledetecting allowed for assessment of the hoard in situ but there is plenty of exciting work still to be done.
