Amazing! Money doesn't grow on trees...it's buried beneath them!
Excellent example of how cooperation between collectors/detectorists and governmental oversight is a win-win for both sides. Now, if we can just get countries East of the Channel to do the same...

what a shame we don't have a kind of Treasure Trove in France, some hoards are regularly dispersed without proper study ...

Wow.
I missed this 3 years ago.
Must have been exciting to discover such a hoard.
What a shame that I live in the New World.

Yes it was very exiting every time the machine made a signal you knew it was another of these coins. You just didn't know how many could be down there 5, 50, 500 and at an average of £1000 each nice on the value side as well. We never did find the hoard location spot and im certain we didnt find all the coins the bottom of the pot with 100's in could still be there to this day.

Yes to share it with the landowner. Though i noticed to late a few came up for sale recently in a major sale of celtic coins this year including the one i use for my profile picture which is unique as the engraver for whatever reason placed the F of corf above COR.
