Nice find. Article does not say whether he gets to keep them though. Metal detector sales will probably go up!

LONDON ? A treasure hunter has found about 52,500 Roman coins, one of the largest such finds ever in Britain, officials said Thursday.

The hoard, which was valued at 3.3 million pounds ($5 million), includes hundreds of coins bearing the image of Marcus Aurelius Carausius, who seized power in Britain and northern France in the late third century and proclaimed himself emperor.

Dave Crisp, a treasure hunter using a metal detector, located the coins in April in a field in southwestern England, according to the Somerset County Council and the Portable Antiquities Scheme.

The coins were buried in a large jar about a foot (30 centimeters) deep and weighed about 160 kilograms (350 pounds) in all.

in the UK, if you find something old and valuable, its known as treasure trove, it will be valued and if the country i.e. a museum, decides it wants it, it has the right to purchase it at the full market value from you. otherwise you get to keep it.

RogerV · 07-08-2010, 12:43 PM

He should get it all. since they prob would never have found it anyway.
