A spokeswoman for Bristol Coroner's Court said that even though the coins were found on Mr Allen's property they could still be ruled as being property of the state.

"What determines this is if the coins were buried there intentionally or lost.

The intentions of the 4th century owner would be impossible to determine, therefore they belong to the state.

Everything rightfully belongs to the state.

Tyranny continues to thrive in GB.

Doesn't everyone bury their coins to never be found or used? /sarcasm off

I have to wonder if he felt stupid as he heard himself say, "It is possible somebody put them there and forgot about them, or never intended for them to be found."

Prolly not.
