<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 5134547, member: 86815&quot;]Well like many laws it is &quot;grey&quot; and open to interpretation. Theoretically the law relates to precious metals and quantum but in reality the finders now know that provenance enhances value. On the whole , these are intelligent people not looking for wedding rings on beaches and they research topography and history and I am affiliated to a local group to consider &quot;finds&quot; but have no time to participate. I was shown a magnificent Octavian denarius Bull denarius recently declared to the local FLO but did not have to be declared as a single item but its declaration indicated movement from East Wales to West Wales.</p><p>The major problem with museums is that they have budgets but no space to exhibit and as a consequence they subjugate history. I hate them in many respects. For example in Wales, I have seen museums with trash buckets filled with donated WW1 medals but the museum will never show them because they do not have the space. Collectors on the other hand will conduct genealogical research and perpetuate the history of the recipient.&nbsp; Medals donated to museums normally destroy the history of the recipient and this is disgraceful because recent generations will venerate and preserve.</p><p>Museums like most religions can destroy history.&nbsp; Why simply observe when we can participate and ask why ? Why? seems to be a major problem in Covid Society.</p><p>This is probably a subject for another thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
