My Treasure Diary - 3rd February 2006

Today I’ve come home from working away all week to find notification from the Coroners Office at Chelmsford that the Inquest into my find is going to be held next Tuesday , 7th February.

IM gobsmacked that this is being done so soon - and delighted too!

Thats less than 2 weeks from the British Museum sending the report to the actual Inquest.

The Inquest will be in public but IM not required to attend although I am entitled to if I wish. I think I will try and get some time off to make the journey down there to see in the flesh what happens on these occassions - or else I will feel I am not experiencing the whole journey through the Treasure Act. If I do attend I need to let the Coroners Office know.

On another note I will be phoning one of the Essex newspapers tomorrow - they have picked up on the Treasure Inquest from the court reports and called Caroline McDonald today for more information. She has given them a bit of historical info already today but they would like to speak to me too.

This object was reported as treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act. It has been acquired by Braintree Museum.
