True... there are a lot of people in shock at this one... including many many detectorists.... \of course up here in Jockoland, we have a simple Treasure system... It is |ALL treasure, from a piece of blue and white to a gold torc.. it must be reported and then the SAFAP (of which I am a member, decide on a ex gratia payment - though this is not a given) and also where it should be deposited with. because this has no precious metal... it ain't treasure in England... so its fair game.. all legal and sorted... what a missed opportunity from the 1996 Treasure Act.. ah well...
Of course a reward should be made... but the system in England and Wales is.. ahem flawed in my opinion... I hope the cost of conservation is deducted! :face-huh:
