He should have never reported it.

Especially in socialist Britian.

Me? I would have sold them to a reputable coin dealer.

The Brits pay a good and fair price to the finder in "Treasure Trove" cases. Fourth Century Roman coins are the Ford Pintos of Roman numismatics. You can buy 'em by the hundreds on eBay. The historical value may be greater than the collector's value and the finder will benefit as a result.

"He should have never reported it."

They actually have a pretty good law that rewards the finder of treasure.

It might be kind of hard to keep secret. I doubt ancient Roman coins are used in daily commerce anymore.
