The practical responsibility for reporting of Treasure for professional archaeologists employed by an archaeological contractor lies with the 'body corporate', in exactly the same way as dealing with the discovery of human remains and a range of other issues (eg health and safety reporting to HSE re injuries and dangerous aoccurrences).
This is recognised in para 23 of the Code of Practice However, in the case of an archaeological excavation, it may be convenient for one member of the excavation team to take the responsibility for ensuring that the coroner is informed about all finds of potential treasure made during the course of the excavation.
Is that explicit enough for you Gary?
hopefully that's an end to this thread
