Now his father doesn’t know what to do with them since he can’t explain where they came from without losing them.

If he had permission to detect on his neighbor’s land he can try to come to some agreement to share the find. If he didn’t get his neighbor’s permission, he’s got himself an interesting moral decision to make.

But nobody is going to require him to explain how he acquired them when it comes to selling them. IRS will of course expect its share...
