Damn. Very cool!!!
I'd change vacation plans for a chance at digging up something like that...too bad anything of 'historical significance' or value dug up in England stays in England (unless the finder can shut up about their find and somehow smuggle it out of the country) There are many stories of the British government seizing the good stuff. MD'ing in England amounts to slave labor. But at least you'll be allowed to keep the rusty nails and pull tabs.

Plenty of stuff still to find in the UK.
The coin in the picture is one of them I found sometime ago.

The only time the finder looses their finds is if they try and hide it. Not long ago some people were jailed for doing that, they tried to sell loads of gold coins off. Any finds declared treasure trove is handed in to the authorities after which an independent committee works out how much the items are worth and the proceeds split between the farmer and the finder with the possibility of being able to keep a few coins. Hope this is of help. Have a Good Christmas
That is a pretty good explanation of the PAS {Portable Antiquities Scheme} where national treasure stays where it rightfully should. My only complaint is it is a typical Government bureaucracy and is painfully slow LOL As a veteran of more than 10 trips detecting it is hard work detecting but not slave labor. I would recommend a reputable contact in the UK to help navigate the PAS system.

Quite right about pas being very slow. A friend of mine found a Roman ring on a Cornish beach, it took over two years before he got the pay out.
