On Monday 21st March, the 2018 Treasure Annual Report was laid in front of Parliament.

In ‘normal’ years, the British Museum normally hold a press conference to show off some of the nicer finds and important Treasure cases of that year. However due to Covid-19 restrictions, we had to do things slightly differently this year.

As such, I have created a video showing most of the 2018 Treasure cases found in the West Midlands counties (Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Coventry, Birmingham and Stoke-on-Trent). In the video, you can see a picture of the Treasure case, what number it was and it’s database record, where it was found and equally what has happened to it in the cases that have been concluded.

I created a second video with some of the more interesting non-Treasure finds that were recorded during 2018 as a reminder that we are not just interested in recording Treasure finds but anything archaeological older than 300 years.

I hope you enjoy them.
