Finding Treasure
Taking a walk through the woods with the family pet can sometimes unearth some unexpected surprises. Sticks, stones or even, buried treasure. \n\nIn this week\u2019s podcast, we discuss what counts as treasure and how you might distinguish it from trash. We survey the historical legal definitions of treasure, assess the likelihood of a detectorist striking gold and present examples of how finding treasure can ignite our imagination and become a bridge to the past. Finally, we share the treasures we would most like to discover ourselves.\n\n- Detectorists jailed for stealing \xa312m Viking hoard of gold and silver https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/nov/22/detectorists-jailed-for-stealing-12m-viking-hoard-of-gold-and-silver \n- Buried treasure: record UK haul fuelled by rise in metal detectorists https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/feb/03/buried-treasure-record-uk-haul-fuelled-by-rise-in-metal-detectorists \n- A Survey of Metal-Detector Users in the UK https://tuhat.helsinki.fi/ws/files/120984316/Searching_for_Answers.pdf \n- Missing Gold Faberg\xe9 Egg Found by Scrap-Metal Dealer https://fadmagazine.com/2021/09/23/missing-gold-faberge-egg-found-by-scrap-metal-dealer-and-pair-of-royal-sculptures-reunited-to-feature-in-va-exhibition/ \n\nFor more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email podcast@alephinsights.com\n\nImage: Pixabay
