[QUOTE="Guest, post: 594251"] G'day From what I have heard about metal detector finds in the UK the article is valued and the money is split between the finder and the land holder, of course that's providing you have the landholders permission to be there detecting in the first place I guess, if not they would probably just confiscate it, and you would get sfa and probably also fined for being in the wrong place, there would be thousands of artifacts of gold and silver found in the UK every year that would never be declared, sold on the quiet or just kept in private collections because of these laws. Ridge Runner I am with you on that comment of the finder being an amateur, in the same article it said that he had been a detectorist for 20 years, but I guess in the pom class system unless you have been to uni and are qualified as a archaeologist or similar you would always be just seen as an amateur even if you did find something worthwhile, the so called professionals would just get their noses out of joint over it all, your right it takes years to become proficient in detecting not just for coins and relics but also for hunting gold nuggets, is that also not a game where research plays a large part in your finds. The UK history is amazing and there must be millions in all sorts of treasure still buried waiting to be found, if I ever get to the UK you can bet that my sovereign gt would be going with me. :inlove: cheers stayyerAU [/QUOTE]
