Temporarily blocked from export- but if museum can't come up with £18,000 *each*, they'll still vanish overseas to goodness knows where...
It's often not about museums 'wanting' finds, it's about being able to 'afford' them...

The Torygraph contacted me last week, but I told them their paper didn't align with my world view...
They wrote it anyway and I have to say, it's pretty good. Much that I hate the Telegraph, it's also in exactly the right newspaper...

Some great news - thank you to everyone who contributed their hard earned cash!
(Just a reminder that had the finder/ landowner donated the dress fastener, it would have cost £0 instead of £150,000...)

"it was hoped the artefact...could be acquired by Lincoln Museum"
Note the word 'hoped'. But if Museum can't raise the funds to buy it, it could be sold at auction, sent overseas or melted down.

"If the total of £150,000 is not raised, the British Museum has an option to buy the torc, or the finder and owner of the site are able to put it up for sale to the highest bidder."

I wonder which of these 25 ingots @findsorguk.bsky.social (all were returned to finder...) ended up being melted down?
There's very few truly undiagnostic finds - most are awaiting a person or technique to decode their secrets...

I disagree with Mike in a lot of this - in the fact that we're divided (really we aren't), the absence of recognition that the museum probably couldn't afford it, his conclusions, and the archaeological 'worth' of many detected finds, but it was good to see the raw £ finally getting some coverage, even if it is the awful Spectator!
Also confirmation that disclaimed hoards *are* being melted down... 😫

This is what happens when 'treasure' can't be bought by a museum - the hoard has been broken up into individual auction lots & will disappear into many different hands, some almost certainly overseas.
When do we start saying enough is enough??

... and all to pay the detectorist and landowner for a lucky find!!!

I rather liked this... not the usual type of story we get about things from fields - it's gentle and thoughtful.
Top marks for getting it in Farmer's Weekly too...
It ain't all 'treasure'...

450,000 artefacts from the HS2 excavations *alone*.
So the next time detectorists tell you they find everything archaeologically important - they don't. 😝

The PAS report for 2024 is out. 79,616 finds were reported (up 7% from 2023's 74,506) 1540 Treasure finds (up 12% from 2023's 1358) So... numbers are still rising at alarming rates.
https://finds.org.uk/documents/annualreports/2024.pdf
Only 4238 finders are reporting to PAS (up from 2023's 3877... but considering the huge boom in the numbers of those detecting, this is still only 1-10% of the number of detectorists in UK). AKA we're still in a mess and it's only getting worse...
Interestingly, there is *NO INFO* in the 2024 PAS report (unlike the 2023 report) regarding numbers of finds being exported!! Why is that?? Hmmmm...
TLDR All numbers are still increasing and the picture I've been highlighting over the last few months isn't getting any better...

If anyone's feeling brave, this will be on tonight.
In case you don't know of Detectival, it's an annual metal detecting rally where 1000 detectorists, from 37 countries (their info for 2025), take part and which results in hundreds of finds, many of which are exported...
PAS (understandably) won't attend, so instead a commercial artefact recording organisation is paid to.
Not entirely sure why this would be something to celebrate on prime-time TV, but we shall see how they cover it...

FOI requests show that, in 2024/2025, payments to individual finders & landowners for 'Treasure' rewards cost us £7,280,321.26
That's £7.3 million that could have been spent on curators, museums & heritage...
It's time to reduce rewards & regulate detecting. Our shared history requires nothing less.
