Hungry badger don’t care. Hungry badger don’t give a ****.

 

In Asturias. Reminds me of this favorite from Isaac Albéniz.

 

yeah I think I'd come back after the badger found a new den and moved on, no matter how long it takes. Those coins been there MANY years a few more weeks won't hurt, but the badger will. lol

 

So...is the badger going to receive a finder's fee?

Personally, a badger's the last animal I'd ever piss off. They're incredibly smart and have a real attitude.

 

If it were up to me, I'd clean the coins up, send them off to NGC, and then build the badger a display case for his collection. Seems like the right thing to do!

 

With each coin accompanied with a certificate of authenticity and provenance signed with the badger's paw print.

 

For those who didn't follow the link from The Guardian story, the original article in El País has a photo of the find.
