It's #FindsFriday!
I recently recorded this beautiful late Bronze Age copper-alloy socketed hammer. Less than 65 have been recorded on the PAS database and this one is complete.

This weeks has to go to this pesky token disguised as a jetton! Issued by William Hall between https://t.co/9SMKe9UAZN 1610 - 1635. The orb design mimics Nuremberg jettons issued during the same period.

@SDetectorist Thank you ☺️

Sorry for the lack of tweets over the last few months. I have recorded some exciting objects this year that I can't wait to share!
I got married a few weeks ago, so here is a finger ring recorded in Jan LEIC-7CD90E(2024T007). Inscribed with 'TOT' for the Celtic God Toutatis

I recently recorded this complete late Iron Age to early Roman strap fitting. It has retained most, if not all of it's red enamel and is stunning!

Two Scouts Georgia and Evie were on @itvnews this evening to talk about their discovery of a 6th Century Anglo-Saxon brooch, whilst working towards their Scout Archaeology badge.

BREAKING: @ITVCentral cameras were there when two young sisters from #Derbyshire unearthed a 6th century Anglo-Saxon brooch. Georgia and Evie Hinton found it during a @DerbyScoutArch event in #Leicestershire last month. Experts at @britishmuseum have now confirmed it's genuine.

I am currently having issues with taking and making calls on my work mobile. This will hopefully be sorted by the end of next week. In the mean time email is the best way to reach me!

This beautiful Post-Medieval doll was recently found in North-West Leicestershire. It dates to the 16th century and is the most complete example recorded on the PAS database, I am used to recording fragments of these toys.

Just look at the size difference in these two weights I have in!

[Leics Museums @LeicsMuseums]

Ooooh, we're nearly ready to reopen the museum, so you can see the updated Hallaton Helmet displays and we can't wait! It's been a long journey from local volunteers finding the Treasure to it being in Harborough Museum. Visit us from Thursday 21st #EnglishTourismWeek24

Up until this week I hadn’t recorded a Roman buckle since 2019… I’m just about to record my third Roman buckle of the week 👀
What’s going on??

[Meg Harvey @Meggard1]

I recently recorded this Middle Bronze Age dirk, found in the Melton district of Leicestershire. It is almost complete with a fragment of the hilt being damaged. It dates to c. 1700 - 1400 BC.
