Yes, like most things, it’s always worth running it past someone more knowledgable

Hi Mark, the finds officer has taken the thimble so he can do his report (size,weight etc).
When his report is finished it gets sent to a coroner to make the decision that it’s treasure and not a modern lost item.
After that, it then gets offered to the British museum who either make a offer for the item or release it for public auction (this process take between 6months-2yrs
).
If and when I get it back, it will hopefully have a full report (inc inscription) and I’ll be able to update folk further.
