Why do these people even open their mouths after such a find? Take the best of the lot and have it appraised by an expert. Then slowly sell them to anyone interested. And don't reveal the location where found.
But I guess jumping up and down yelling "Eureka!" is more satisfying.

I think some people are more pleased with having their name associated forever with discovering a national treasure that is being displayed in a premier national historic museum for future visitors to see.
There is a certain pride associated with knowing that one advanced the knowledge of their country's history.

Once the gov’t hears about the find, they’ll take 97%.

OK, this is a great find and the archaeologists who did the excavation deserve a lot of credit.
However, as someone who has a very nice Garrett metal detector with multiple heads, the part of the story that raised huge red flags as to accuracy was, “......metal detector searching a freshly plowed carrot field in Switzerland found — as well as other surprising items including a bear's tooth, a beaver's tooth and a fossilized shark's tooth.......”
Teeth don't show up on a metal detector at least no metal detector I am familiar with. metal over various kinds does, so I really have to question the degree of accuracy in the entire story. The archaeologists could have found those things after they started carefully digging, but the whole story smells of inaccuracy.

He just found a metal disc.
The archaeologist found the teeth and other stuff................

Obviously he found those non-metal items whilst digging up the metals.
To: Robert357
Zahn initially found a bronze disc, and immediately realized it was an "extraordinary discovery" so he contacted local authorities.
