<p>[QUOTE="biggus mickus, post: 1476489, member: 37546"]Reg Meade has done so much on the Island of Jersey to promote the correct use of metal detecting and of the correct reporting proceadure of coins and artifacts. I lived on the Island for 10 years or so, and he helped do the corresspondance when I found the largest bronze age hoard ever found in Jersey. The possibility of any of them coins leaving the Island are very remote as Jersey dont entertain Export licences, I know that. I dont really think £10million is what they will get, that is the media hype. I am so happy for him and Richard because he knew somewhere down in the ground there was a hoard. I hope they do get the treasure reward for all the years they have put into the hobby. Whats sad is they probably wont display all the coins and the majority of them wont see the light of day again, and I think they should be purchased by collectors rather than hidden away in a vault.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
