    Wow, the coin was found just lying about. I wonder how it got there?

    Had it been found and reported in England they and the landowner would get a significant reward. Of course, it is not possible for a find made by a group to be kept quiet. I wonder how many coins found by individuals do not get reported because there is no real reward and the finder would rather keep or sell it than get a "good citizenship certificate"?
