To be classed as treasure a find has to be brought in by a member of the public etc and assessed by the PAS (through its procedures), however finds from archaeological investigations that are part of the planning process have a requirement to be deposited with museums so will never pass in front of the PAS to be classed as treasure (and I imagine this accounts for the near entirety of material recovered by proffesional archaeological units).
As to which archaeological finds were classed as treasure, you'd best consult your local PAS officer (I don't know whats on their websire)
