"Hey old man, I think someone found those coins you lost..."

Under the 1996 Treasure Act, anyone who finds a group of buried coins has to declare it to the coroner within two weeks. If the coins are bought, as planned, by the Museum of Somerset, the reward will shared between Mr Crisp and the landowner.
The Secretary of State determines market value.
"Hey old man, I think someone found those coins you lost..."
Why not? Tell them you found 5,000 coins and see how it goes. Later on you might "get lucky" and find more (of your now hidden hoard).
Is it “Chumley” or “Cholmondeley”?
this seems very staged indeed. Next they will dig up the russel crowe
Yeah, but don’t tell Karl Denninger or any of the monetarists.
They’ll turn purple and call you names. Because that linen has so much more “potential,” if only the right people were running it (sound familiar?).
In the UK ALL archeological finds are IMMEDIATELY turned over to the authorities for disposition. If he wanted to sell these he would have had to do this.
Cause it's like Antiques Roadshow with silliness, haggling and petty insults thrown in to make it even better.
Looking those up they are worth between $50 to $100 retail.
The Bits do pay finders for what they find but they do take the treasure after payment, probably don’t pay what the treasure is actually worth but 500,000 is better than nothing at all.
