At last I'm getting my King Edward I, ii and iii coin hoard back I found in 2021. It has been disclaimed by British Museum. There was 20 pennies 11 x Edward iii 3 x Edward ii and 6 x Edward I , 2 x groats and half groat of Edward iii.
It's been a real nightmare I had these and hoard of palstave axeheads but bot stolen by finds liason officer for my county but after raiding his properties and and recovering my hoards and 100s more treasure finds from other detectorist that went missing the crown prosecution service said there is not enough evidence. More like a cover up by British Museum.
My definition of a "hoard" is a larger accumulation of coins, whilst that is a nice assortment. Four years in limbo with the PAS is egregious and will only result in people not reporting their finds. I have several coins and tokens that have been found by detectorists, all reported and easily documented and returned to the finder. If they are sold out of the UK they require a no fee export license. By itself the Mc Wilson token from Dublin Ireland from 1672 is pretty unexceptional - but it was found by a detectorist in rural Shropshire in 2007, reported to the PAS, documented and returned to the finder. He sold it on eBay later on and I purchased it - it required the no fee export license that resulted in having to wait another week before he could send the parcel out. The token was reported because it is rather unusual to find a 17th century Irish token in Shropshire - obviously it traveled across the Irish sea to England and thence was lost. So I have an inexpensive Irish token with a lot of documentation and a good tale to share.
