Treasure Act changes become law on 30th July 2023

In Britain, on 30th March 2023 the proposed changes to the Treasure Act were passed by Parliament and will become law on 30th July 2023. This change adds a new class of Treasure, called ‘significant’ to the existing law. All of the other existing classes of treasure remain unchanged. Promises have also been made to detectorists to considerably speed items through the Treasure Process, so the landowners will all get their money earlier.
