Not heard about that find ,but as RedEarth says there should be details available of the sale. Either way if true it is another item that falls under the ownership of the landowner and as private property can be disposed of as wished. However one must consider that the media attention the helmet find generated may well have influenced the finder and landowner to keep quiet. Pity if that was the case, but "once bitten twice shy" springs to mind.
