<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YOC, post: 2336935, member: 58941&quot;]I imagine that like most of the people in the UK they were not aware of the law and immediately thought &#039;finders keepers&#039; which of course counts for nothing when on private land .&nbsp; The landowner may have decided to give the finder half, but would certainly not be bound to do so. Ownership of the hoard is the landowners alone, what he decides to do with it is his/her choice.&nbsp; They are not bound by a verbal promise either.&nbsp;&nbsp; I hadn&#039;t read the article so was unaware of the split reported to be happening and to be honest with the accuracy with which news is reported in the UK I would not be confident the papers had their facts right in any case..... especially the western daily press or any of its sister publications![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
