"I've never sold a single item & I've found thousands of coins."
'he keeps his finds carefully arranged in a display cabinet at his home.'
...that's just one #detectorist.
Multiply that by perhaps 40,000 people - that's an awful lot of artefacts.

A glimpse through the topsoil of #Stonehenge for #StandingStoneSunday
Like an iceberg, there is more of these bluestone below the surface than above
Unlike icebergs, it's not because they're less dense than saltwater

TLDR it's all getting worse: number of Treasure finds up, number of donations and acquisitions down.

Don’t just watch this because I’m in it. Watch it because it offers hope. Connecting communities is the ethos of our 200 year old railway system.

This is an awesome video
There’s diesel engines, there’s heritage railways, there’s Rebecca, There’s me, there’s Geoff, there’s a councillor called Chris.
But most importantly, there’s a vision. A project that could connect communities and improve lives, which is what the railways are all about.

Wow. Money going to individual finders instead of institutional support means museums get objects but lose capacity to care for them. The whole system needs rethinking. What's the point of acquiring treasure if you can't staff, store, or share it properly?
