I'll bet the British Government takes most of it away. Moral of the story, if you find treasure, dig it up yourself, forget about the archeologists and government, and hide it. Sell it off in small pieces. Remember the trouble that Fisher had with his treasure.

John, that's not how it works here. The local government has an option to purchase at FMV, and the finder and landowner split the proceeds. If they didn't make it fair like that, everyone would do what you said. Fisher was a whole different thing.
