I always wanted a metal detector ,sounds great ,the man will get half shares with the farmer when its worth is known so hes not empty handed they will get thousands of pounds .

Ahhh the old adage, finders keepers, losers weepers. I think the guy should have kept quiet, moved to the US and he would have made a ton of money. Queen is a greedy one!

As things are, the finder and the farmer get a great deal of money and the haul, itself, will end up in the British Museum. Your way would see it in a bank vault and never seeing the light of day or maybe even melted down.

I notice the old "men-in-skirts" inferiority complex is back again. [lol]

well it is good to know that the finder will be compensated some how. I agree it should go to the museums it is a part of history, but because the score was so hige the finder needs to be taken care of.

Allegedly, the biggest hoard yet to be discovered is a Viking hoard on the Isle of Man. Again, allegedly, it is hidden in Peel Castle which is an Ancient Monument and so cannot be searched by the public.
