Treasure hunters and metal-detectorists have made 31 discoveries of treasure in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin over the last year.

NORTH COPYRIGHT SHROPSHIRE STAR JAMIE RICKETTS 26/01/2022 - Shropshire metal-detectorist Cai Antoney, of Noble Pursuits Metal Detecting Group, has discovered an Elizabethan Hawk ring near Hodnet, engraved Talbot at Grafton. A broach was also discovered by Cai..

Cai Antoney, from Market Drayton, runs the Noble Pursuits Metal Detecting group and leads a troop of members every week across pastures in-and-around North Shropshire. This might be down to it becoming more mainstream in the media, Cai said, with documentaries such as Channel 5's Digging for Treasure with presenter Dan Walker showcasing the hobby.

A report from the British Museum said that the hoard was relatively typical of small, late Bronze Age, mixed tool assemblage found in Shropshire and the Marches. If a coroner rules that it is treasure, both local and national museums are given the chance to acquire the pieces, and the finder will be paid a sum depending on the treasure's value.Elizabethan hawking ring and an early medieval gilded silver brooch found near Hodnet

Shropshire has one of the highest quantities of waste per household in the countryIt’s been revealed that Shropshire has one of the highest quantities of waste per household in the country, costing Shropshire Council over £33.5 million per year to collect and dispose of. We live in Mladeley and we recycle as much as is humanly possible. We only put out our black bin about 5 or 6 times a year. I cannot understand why people put out full bins once a fortnight. I can only assume it's laziness. More education needed. Finally! But it’s an entirely self-made £33m mess as tories got rid of officer roles for waste minimisation in 2015 (no doubt to save money!) and voted against Green motion to have reduction strategy last year. Cllr Barrow’s ‘best efforts’ indeed.
