This title gives a brief overview of the "history" of treasure, including origins of the law of Treasure Trove in England and Wales, and the events which led to its revision in 1996. "Finding the Past" includes an examination of the ways in which many objects have come to light: through accidental discovery, metal detecting and construction work and considers the future for treasure finds and raises the questions about who owns the past and who has the right to decide what is done with it.
