Thanks Phil, and well done to them for "doing it right". A great story, well told.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.

Lucky him :g58:

I hope he gives some of his reward to the landowner.

It just goes to show that it is still out there and waiting to be discovered :g50:

The finds look very high status.

Hope he had a 50/50 with the landowner.
