found this on the useless PAS website
I would say that has to be decided by the coroner.
PAS don’t say how long after the find was found was it reported or if other objects were found with it. Some of Meavs odd English comes from cutting and pasteing from

I wonder how long after it was excavated was it reported to the PAS. The pictures show the frags cleaned and the PAS report 64 frgamnets -Meav.
What is Bland trying to say "essential role working with the finder to discover exactly where it was found"
Essential for whom Christies?
be nice to see what the inside looks like cant get PAS database picture to work
Quote:On this very limited evidence votive offering or hoarding of loot might better explain its deposition at this findspot, but in the absence of excavation this must remain speculative.

Quote:[SIZE=3]Dr Roger Bland OBE, Head of Portable Antiquities and Treasure at the British Museum said:
This is an internationally important find and one which everyone agrees should be in a museum in this country and we are supporting the efforts of Tullie House Museum in Carlisle to acquire it.
The Portable Antiquities Scheme played an essential role in working with the finder to discover exactly where it was found, so that Tullie House Museum are able to bid for it and we hope that they are successful, although it is always difficult for a museum to buy an object like this at auction.
It is a pity that the object was restored before there was any opportunity to examine it scientifically, as that would have given us more information about how it came to be in the ground. We hope it will be possible for there to be an archaeological examination of the findspot.
