@FloMidlands Hi, would this clog clasp I found metal detecting today be classed as treasure? Found in Warwickshire.

I will be at Perton library this Saturday as part of their special History Open Day. Come down on the day to learn more about the PAS, handle some real artefacts alongside re-enactors including a chance to meet some Vikings!

This delightful oil-lamp @britishmuseum sadly not on display shows a wading bird (any suggestions?) weighing a mouse & an elephant. Charmingly, the mouse is heavier! It was made by Clodius around the time of Pompeii's bad earthquake (AD 63). More info here britishmuseum.org/collection/obj…

Getting back to work after a lovely Easter break but also the strange feeling that @PeterReavill is missing from our team. It's going to take a while to get used to. I'm ever indebted for all his support when I first interned with @findsorguk
Peter Reavill (officially marvellous)@PeterReavill

I'd like to thank my amazing PAS West Mids team - who just are the best people to work with @WandWFlo @StaffsWMFLO @FloMidlands @AngieMBolton Also the wider #FLOlife team, all that reside in the Central Office @britishmuseum (@Tostig1066 / @TRegistrars) and the Finds Advisors

Should metal-detecting rally organisers have resources on hand (i.e. pay for an appropriately qualified archaeologist to be on site) to deal with in situ / significant finds?

@ArchaeoAnni plodding along, finding ways to meet finders with many clubs not back to meeting yet and BMAG remaining closed to the public. Still plenty of finds to record which keep us going and we have been successful in applying for an intern, so we are excited for that ☺️

Happy #FindsFriday! This week we have LEIC-F58AA1 an incomplete #Roman copper alloy 'sawfish' brooch dating from AD 75 - 200. 🐟 Only the pin is missing and above the wings of the brooch is a circular attachment loop with a chain of links still attached. Recorded by @Meggard1 😊

Thanks all for your good wishes, it means so much. 😊 it is such a relief as pituitary brain surgery is not a pleasant concept. So relieved. Just a few other things to sort now and I'll be firing on all cylinders 😊 Thank you ❤

"I am upset postgraduates have been left out [of prior consultation] and deeply saddened for the discipline." Thanks to Sammie Lynch for her #AlumniTestimonial! Sammie temporarily withdrew from her studies and is now facing not completing her MRes! @worcester_uni, not good!

Happy #WorldBeardDay! Over on the database we have many great depictions of beards. So for today we have found DENO-FD5D1A, a #medieval lead papal bulla of Pope Urban IV. The bulla depicts two glorious beards on its reverse side on representations of Saints Peter and Paul.🧔🧔‍♂️
