What are the laws in the UK? Does the finder or the owner of the property where these coins were found own them?

Or are they automatically the property of the State (as is the norm in many countries)

Just for clarification, what is considered “pre-historic?” To me that’s before written word and record keeping. 40 BC really isn’t “pre-historic” is it?

Anyway, that is an amazing find!!

"Ms Plouviez said their value when in circulation had been estimated at a modern equivalent of between £500,000 and £1m, but they were likely to be worth less than that now."

So much for gold as a store of value.

Now, if you had bought some of those Roman 2000 year zero coupon bonds...

They may be old but not prehistoric.

Romans were very good recorders.

But I wish they had been in my back yard.
