Today's #FindsFriday is something shiny! 👀 An Australian 1858 Victorian Sovereign. Thanks to Ian of #TheCelticSearchers #SavingTreasuresTellingStories #PortableAntiquitiesScheme
Today's #FindsFriday is a copper Halfpenny Token. Interestingly, it is all in Welsh. Obverse reads "Jestyn. Ap. Gwrgan. Tywysog. Morgannwg. 1091" which translates to "Jestyn (or Iestyn) son of gwrgan, Prince of Glamorgan". The Reverse reads "Y. Brenhin. Ar. Gyfraith." Which translates to "The King and the Law". Another interesting point about this, was that it was found above a door frame! Was it there for luck? What do we think? Thanks to Dave of the #CelticSearchers #PortableAntiquitiesScheme #SavingTreasuresTellingStories
Happy Friday Everyone! Today's #FindsFriday is a lovely bronze Roman Fibula! Thank you to Dave from #CelticSearchers for this find. #SavingTreasuresTellingStories #PortableAntiquitiesScheme
Today's #FindsFriday is a Silver Anglo-Saxon coin of Continental Sceattas. Dated to approx c. 695-740 AD. Thank you to Finder Ian of the #CelticSearchers #SavingTreasuresTellingStories #PortableAntiquitiesScheme
Today's #FindsFriday is a 1811 Token from the Crown Copper Company. The works were based in Neath but the Head Office was in Birmingham. Tokens were used due to the shortage of normal coins. We have two versions of the same token, one in better condition than the other. Thank you to Dave from #TheCelticSearchers for this! #SavingTreasuresTellingStories #PortableAntiquitiesScheme
Today's #FindsFriday is a lovely example of a hammered coin. An Edward III Groat. Look how clearly you can see Edward from 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock. Thank you again to Finder Dave of the #CelticSearchers #SavingTreasuresTellingStories #PortableAntiquitiesScheme
Today's #FindsFriday is an unusual one! This is a Victorian hem lifter! Imagine little tweezers used to pick up the hems of dresses. Thank you to Dave of the #CelticSearchers #PortableAntiquitiesScheme #SavingTreasuresTellingStories

A return to Pembroke Castle for a brief interview as part of a forthcoming BBC programme with Professor Martin Johnes of Swansea University. It also provided the chance to see the backfilled trenches from our excavations in September. Following quite a bit of work by Jason at #PembrokeCastle you would hardly know we had been there!
Today's #FindsFriday is a lovely post medieval small gaming peice in the shape of a rabbit. Thanks to Malcolm of The #CelticSearchers for this! #SavingTreasuresTellingStories #PortableAntiquitiesScheme

Today's #FindsFriday may not look like much but it holds a lot of history! This is a lead Palm Guard, most probably used in sewing. You can still see all the little marks where a needle would have hit it. Thanks to Finder Kevin of #ThePembrokeshireProspectors #SavingTreasuresTellingStories #PortableAntiquitiesScheme
