    Mate-I guess you'd have to fib to PAS and tell them you dug your pot & pestle up in a local field to get any kind of free valuation ?
    PS-Throw a few pieces of Viking coinage while your at it.I'll tell you what'd really get their dander flyin' is even the faintest prospect of an Anglo Saxon settlement.Christ-You'd probably get Time Team parachuting in for that !
