<p>[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 5133834, member: 86815"]I had some trouble too but then managed to read the article by signing in without a subscription in Google. I had read about this before with interest because I used to live not more than 3 miles from the Antiques Centre referred to in the article. I used to metal detect and other than a World War One Sea Mine and hundreds of beer can pull rings was never able to contribute to my ancients collection and did not have the time to pursue the hobby diligently. What is apparent from reading the Metal Detecting press is that "finds" are usually declared in a proper manner and hoards are properly excavated by archeologists in the UK, probably as a result of the success of the good reporting of fair market value being given to finders and the appeal of good publicity. Who wants to hide their light or prowess under a bushel![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
