The BBC News website recently had a report about a government proposal to extend the range of items that can be accounted as Treasure Trove. This would secure under the Portable Antiquities Schemr items for museums more than 200 years old rather than the existing 300 and also metal objects not containing gold or silver.
This seems eminently sensible, especially in the light of the examples given in the report which can be seen at Treasure definition may be broadened to help museums.
