@romanfound: A rare appearance of the Crosby Garrett Helmet at the British Museum’s Legion exhibition. This breathtaking artefact would have been worn during a prestigious cavalry display. Found by a Metal Detectorist in 2010, this find didn’t meet treasure criteria at the time of its discovery as it is not made from precious metals. It is one of the reasons for the recent changes to the treasure law to include items which may have national significance but not necessarily made from a precious metal. It does go to highlight the way in which private collections and museums can collaborate which is a positive outcome. This item alone is one of the many reasons to go and see the exhibition in person! #romanfound #metaldetecting #metaldetectingfinds #romanempire #romanarmy #romanhistory #romancoin #romanhistory #History #legion #exhibition #britishmuseum

This find is one of the reasons why we’ve had changes to the treasure laws recently, as it fell outside of criteria at the time of discovery.

How does stuff like that go into private collection? In my country, Denmark, if you find something big like this, it belongs to Denmark

Wait a minute… WHAT private collection???? A historic find like this belongs to the government who would have paid the finder an agreed upon sum.

Thought all finds in the U.K. went to museums by law?

Do we know how many Calvary soldiers might have worn them together all at once? Did some ride along side to assist (hard to see)?

Have you seen what it looked like when it was found? It was very heavily but skillfully restored and not nearly as complete as it appears.
