Bit surprised that a museum did not want the hoard? Certainly not a common find :g43:

I do find it strange what museums want to keep :g43: Surely it is the recording and photographing of the find that is the important bit?

Its all the luck of the draw when it comes to any financial gain coming along through any of our finds being legally sold. :g58: :g49:
