The law regarding “treasure” in England is, the value is set by a third-party committee, and half goes to the finder, half to the land owner. Apparently, there are few disputes over the valuation.
Of course, they do have to pay income tax.

I remembered something like that, I have never found Treasure in England, but I remember some london cabbie telling me 80% of land was owned either by the church or the crown.
Probably if I did I might have gone with the “finders keepers law”
I did get to see all the ancient armor and cannons, Even the fake crown jewels, the funny looking guards were very upset when I took pictures of them and then pretended to only speak only Klingon.
