Nah, the Brits actually have a pretty good law that rewards finders of 'Treasure Troves.'

One of the Discovery channel's series on buried treasure had a segment on some British farmers who found a lot of Roman coins in their field and as required by law turned them over to the appropriate government bureau. The British Museum evaluated the coins and paid the pair a substantial finder's fee. How much the government got back in taxes was not mentioned.

Mr. Malin will probably get a good sized fee due to the size of the find and the rarity of this coin.
