Tel Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 The coins, found in March, were a mixture of Viking and Anglo-Saxon and according to Cambridge numismatist Kristin Bornholdt there were previously only 11 such Viking coin examples in the world from the period 995AD-1030AD.

Mission Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Oh right, I thought it might have been some sort of hidden cache of treasure that people were competing to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minxie Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 It's something like - any coins, or other precious metals found belong to the Crown, however the finder will be reimbursed financially for the items. If you do find stuff and don't hand it in (not sure who to i.e. police or museum) then you can get into trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coroner Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Treasure Trove: Items of gold and silver that have been found in a concealed place, having been hidden by an owner who is untraceable. They belong to the Crown by virtue of the royal prerogative. When discovered, is subject to an inquest at a coroner's court to establish the circumstances of its loss or deposition. Archaeologists are frequently involved in giving evidence to such inquests. Finders are often allowed to keep the objects, or an institution such as the Manx Museum pays so that the objects can be added to a national collection.
