Link to the Treasure Act of 1996.

Looks like he will lose ownership to "The Crown". Sorry big guy.

Who will receive the reward?

This is set out in detail in the Code of Practice. To summarise:

where the finder has permission to be on the land, the rewards should continue to be paid in full to him or her (the burden of proof as to whether he or she has permission will rest with the finder). If the finder makes an agreement with the occupier/landowner to share a reward, the Secretary of State will normally follow it;
if the finder does not remove the whole of a find from the ground but allows archaeologists to excavate the remainder of the find, the original finder will normally be eligible for a reward for the whole find;
rewards will not normally be payable when the find is made by an archaeologist;
where the finder has committed an offence in relation to a find, or has trespassed, or has not followed best practice as set out in the Code of Practice, he or she may expect no reward at all or a reduced reward. Landowners and occupiers will be eligible for rewards in such cases.

How long will it take before I receive my reward?

The Code of Practice states that you should receive a reward within one year of your having delivered your find, although this may take longer in the case of very large finds or those that present special difficulties. If no museum wants to acquire the find it should be disclaimed within 6 months or within 3 months if it is a single object.

Oh, he’ll get paid. Then he’ll turn it all back in taxes.

Do they still work in Italian vending machines?

[steveo]

do they have chocolate inside?

[Verginius Rufus]

They don’t say whose name is on the coins and the image is small, but it looks like it’s probably that of Carausius (286-293), a usurper in Britain who was never officially recognized by the emperors Diocletian and Maximian.

They're mine. I was time traveling in my Sophia Loren and I stopped off in England to take a whiz. The fell through a hole in my Toga.

Quae Cum Ita Sunt, please forward them to Jim Robinson and I'll share them with Free Republic!
