Another stupid human being who will have his found horde taken from him without compensation, because he couldn’t keep quiet about his finding.

Sweden seems to have an enlightened treasure finder law:

“Officials commended the finder for honestly reporting the hoard. Under Sweden’s Cultural Environment Act, the person who finds ancient objects made of precious metal must offer the state the opportunity to acquire them for payment.”

Probably against the law to keep it. How would you sell ? Melt and destroy historical value? How could you account for the silver when authorities asked(demanded)?

You MIGHT keep a few pieces before reporting but be sure they would question is this all

Teach a Swede to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime. Teach him to hunt treasure and he'll eat worms.
