Friday Update – 26 March 2021
Editorial
The main article this week is on a shovel-board shilling. This was prompted by an announcement last week that a detectorist had donated a piece to the British Museum. This piece is of a significant piece of social history but the exact reason for its modifications are a mystery. Can you help solve it?
I’ve 11 new valuations including a William the Lion penny and a roman finger ring.
In the PAS and Treasure Review, there’s a Roman folding knife with a handle formed by three figures in a adventurous position. In Detecting in the News, the British Museum reveals its most interesting recent finds.
