“Milly said if she was offered any money for her part of the find, it would be split equally with the landowner.”
Milly? Just one name?
Did she have an agreement with the landowner?
Seems to me it belongs to him 100%
Think it is split under English law.
Landowners usually give permission to detect. Likly a verbal agreement she is sticking too.
Great find. I hope she finds more great finds but this she might have found the best she can find. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. If you are lucky enough.
As a long time metal dectorist I still get excited finding a quarter from the 50’s.
