Title: I.d. from f l o Post by: brickie58 on April 16, 2018, 08:15:02 PM I handed a find into my local (pembs)collections officer at scolton manor in November 2017 and i am still waiting to hear back from F L O Cardiff, how long does your local F L O take to answer.

I had a treasure case, a battered incomplete 15thc silver guilt ring that took 4 years and I was awarded 50% of £10. There was more money spent on stamps on all the letters generated by the procedure. Remember Welsh treasure cases go to Cardiff then eventually to BM which drags it out even more. Though the 14 day rule also applies to FLO 's, most seem to ignore it. Title: Re: I.d. from f l o Post by: Neil on April 17, 2018, 10:35:27 AM A good bit of advice is to certainly 'Get comfy as you may have a long wait!'
What sort of find was it? this may help with an indication as to whether it needs to go through Treasure etc. Good luck Title: Re: I.d. from f l o Post by: brickie58 on April 17, 2018, 11:40:47 AM hi neil no its not treasure, its funny, i emailed pictures of other finds to Cardiff and had answers within a couple of days.

Mark Lodwick the FLO comes to the monthly Cardiff Scan Club meetings. If you hand in finds one month he usually has them back by the next meeting. Title: Re: I.d. from f l o Post by: dragonsbreath(Paul) on April 18, 2018, 07:17:23 AM Well Mark is just back from an enforced 3 month break as he hadnt taken Holidays for years.
We have the same arrangement he visits Club every 2 months and we also have non treasure items back at the next meeting. Paul. Title: Re: I.d. from f l o Post by: brickie58 on April 18, 2018, 10:00:24 AM Just had a phone call from collections officer she has been on easter holiday, my finds have not been picked up yet! been there since November.

I did wonder why he had three months off :) Mind you I feel as if I could do with a couple of months off, although that isn't going to happen for another 25 years (or later if the government bumps up retirement age again). |
