I emailed the Treasure Department at the BM at the end of February to ask if they were able to tell me when the wee gold fragment was likely to go before the Treasure Valuation Committee - which is the next step in the journey through the Treasure Act.
Fi in the Treasure Department replied telling me that the DCMS (Department of Culture , Media and Sport) deals with the second part of the process (the valuations) rather than the British Museum and that she had passed my email onto them.
Today I’ve heard from Laura Dance of the Treasure Valuation Committee in the Cutural Property Unit. She has told me that assuming no hitches it should go before the TVC on 28th April.
Not long at all to wait!
