<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 8001831, member: 40017&quot;]Yes - this hoard was actually found several years ago and over a number of years. Most of it was handled correctly and reported and the recent news covers the Coroner&#039;s decision to record it as &quot;Treasure&quot;. This will work very well for the finder and landowner as the value they will get is the full market value - far better than black market.</p><p>Another detectorist found a further 10 coins and attempted to sell on the black market without declaring. Not only did he not get the money, he is now an ex-policeman and received an 18 month prison sentence to boot.</p><p>See: <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-59151380" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-59151380" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-59151380</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
