For #FindsFriday the Ryedale Hoard, the assemblage of Roman copper alloy objects sold into private hands yesterday. I was fortunate to see it in the flesh when it was being recorded with @SWYOR_FLO @findsorguk – it's clearly wrong that no-one else now can https://t.co/Tk4hnOlGio
These little copper alloy Tudor period buttons have a simple elegance. Cast in one piece with a solid head and substantial integral shank, they are tactile and evocative. These four are from the Leeds area and recently recorded @findsorguk with @SWYOR_FLO #FindsFriday
Sadly, museums can't yet host @findsorguk surgeries with @SWYOR_FLO (finders please contact Amy.Downes@wyjs.org.uk), but here are some recent finds from the nine S & W Yorkshire authority areas, starting with #Barnsley
@CannonHall1760
@EBMuseum
@BarnsleyMuseums
@BarnsleyCouncil
It's a bit tricky identifying coins from images @findsorguk (I'm appreciating 3D in many ways!), but here's a #Roman coin of Severus Alexander struck 228-229. The copper alloy core of a plated denarius, it depicts Romulus going out for his daily exercise 👉https://t.co/ih49GtzIZh
