HIDDEN TREASURES OF KENT

This might be of interest to the Treasure Hunters: THE HIDDEN TREASURES OF KENT -An exhibition to celebrate 150 years of the Kent Archaeological Society -- the claim "This exhibition brings together over 100 fabulous treasures representing some of the best of the county’s missing archaeology most of which have not been seen in the County since their discovery". Check it out here.

Not much in the missing manuscript department

but ... they say the have on exhibit

· Iron Age Mill Hill Crown from the British Museum ;
· Anglo-Saxon jewelled brooches from Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum ;
· Bronze Age ‘Beck Hoard’ [now at the World Museum , Liverpool]
· Iron Age slave chain from Manchester Museum . [how can they tell it was a slave chain? very puzzling ... possibly biased ...]
