[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

One finder, interested in archaeology, alerted the Museum of London, which contacted the Portable Antiquities Scheme at the British Museum.

Who wants to bet that this particular finder has been beaten regularly by the other finders since he made the call?

Totally. The idiot calls a museum? And then the Crown claims the booty? I hope he at least got smacked with a shovel.

80 double eagles x $1326.00 melt value = $106080.00

The numismatic value is probably far higher.

Wonder if many Brits have their brains removed at birth these days. They've been trained to be good little Slaves of the State...
