What’s the difference between a Detectorist and a Detective?

Wow... great find...

[HandBasketHell]

In the UK, you are not allowed to keep what you find. You must inform the government, and then the government buys it from you at a price that they determine.

Probably something in those days that was stolen by pirates or such.

Beautiful find!

I wonder how many find treasures and then shut up about it.

[Leaning Right]

Where was this beautiful jewelry found? If it was in Warwickshire, it’s mine. I lost something exactly like it when I was hiking through that county. I carried it as a good luck charm.
Historic England, please mail it to me. Don’t forget to insure it first.

These guys?

What a country you go mudlarking on the Thames and find coins going to the Plagantatines.

And all I ever find is money when I’m out detecting...and WWII relics...and gold and silver jewelry...could be worse I guess. The last two weekends I dug up two 1883 coins, so that was cool, and a bag of coins from the 1920s to 1940s, and that was cool too, but I’m still waiting for the mega treasure score that I can retire on. *sigh*

Anyone else out there that gets their exercise by hiking and digging in dirt?

Wow! what a find! It is absolutely beautiful. That little Tudor rose 🥰

That little hand holding it is different.

Poor Catherine of Aragon. She was the real Queen of England. She got as my father would say, a real bum rap.

I wonder what the red was made of?

wow- very cool find! looks to be studded with a bunch or rubies? (hard to see from the photo)

A revisionist historian might see this HK pendant in an entirely different light:

Wow. This is impressive!
