We run regular finds days in #Kent county to record all the wonderful finds made by #MetalDetectorists, #mudlarks and other members of the public. Recording them builds a bigger picture of our country's history.

Our upcoming finds days appointments below!

#FindsFriday is worn but still adorable. This little figurine is probably late #IronAge or Early #Roman. Figurines of this type known in both periods, with different animals being made. What do you think? Cow or Sheep?

@shepherdskyline Ah ok, well it looks like they should be finished in September. Would you prefer to collect them at Canterbury?

[Kent FLO @Kent_Finds]

@shepherdskyline @AIBArch @Matt0791 @scottylar We've got some finds to return to you haven't we Sarah? Remind me which district you are in

[Kent FLO @Kent_Finds]

@Tostig1066 Yup according bro the record it is in @MaidstoneMuseum. Wonder if they could help with new images

[Kent FLO @Kent_Finds]

@Tostig1066 old treasure record of yours I believe

[Kent FLO @Kent_Finds]

Surprised to have come across an old find that kind of works for #UkraineIndependenceDay. This Fragment of Frankish hinged bracelet fits a general form spread from Western #Europe to Hunnic grave in #Ukraine.

#FindsFriday is an #OTD. In AD14 the first emperor of #Rome, Augustus formerly Octavian died. While famed in history and the longest reigning emperor his coinage remains relatively uncommon in Britain.

This denarius is one such coin:

#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.

Flashback #FindsFriday This medieval iconographic finger ring dating to the 13th or 14th century depicts the Virgin and child along with Saint Peter & Paul. Iconographic rings were items of personal devotion connecting devotees' body to a preferred saint.
