Once a discovery is described as treasure trove, it becomes the property of the Crown (British government), but the finder or finders normally receive the full market value.
Half the value of the cache, supposed to be between £10,000 and £15,000 will be shared among the 37 amateur detectorists of the club, with the remainder going to Francis Armstrong, the landowner who granted permission for the group to detect on his land.
The coins bear the images of several Northumbrian kings, including Eanrad (810-840), Aethelred II (840-844), and Redwulf (c. 855).
I think it is too bad the the crown gets the coins and they are not able to be placed on the open market for collectors.
Wanted: High grade Irish (Republic of Ireland, not Northern Ireland or British) coins, slabbed and unslabbed. Also looking for Proof and Uncirculated Sets PM with info.
