Well done that man Dan.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.

Bit surprised that a museum did not want the hoard? Certainly not a common find
I do find it strange what museums want to keep Surely it is the recording and photographing of the find that is the important bit?
