It's been a while since I posted this:
Currently there are 182 published finds (+1):
32 from Serbia
30 from Britain
17 from Slovenia
15 from Italy
15 from Austria
14 from France
10 from Hungary
9 from Croatia
7 from Germany
7 from Switzerland
5 from Georgia/Abchasia
5 from Rumania (up from 4)
3 from Bosnia-Herzegovina
3 from Bulgaria
3 from Greece
2 from Liechtenstein
2 from The Netherlands
1 from Belgium
1 from Slovakia
1 from Turkey
117 from doubtful or unprovenanced origins (up from 100)
Total 299
The new one from Romania is very interesting, because the archaeologist dates it very early: "according to the context, to the end of the 2nd century and the beginning of the 3rd century". Which is indeed quite early for a plumbata, because by far the most dated finds do not appear a century or more later.
The updated map:
