Title: Re: This bloke for real. Post by: M111kca on November 09, 2014, 02:42:16 AM Why would people sell there finds ?
Title: Re: This bloke for real. Post by: Chef Geoff on November 09, 2014, 08:17:54 AM Well obviously because some, not that one, are valuable and also if you were to keep all your finds your collection becomes ridiculous and it gets to the point that they never get looked at or appreciated and so you have a few choices.... sell, donate to a museum or give back to the land owner and their are good arguments for and against all three but the most important thing is that they are recorded with the PAS after that only you can decide ;)

Title: Re: This bloke for real. Post by: Dale on November 09, 2014, 03:43:13 PM That's the easy fakes to spot, there's early Saxons fakes being sold (made of silver) making good money, and two roman gold's the other day, being sold by eBay's usual fraudsters, one of the UKs biggest dealers has even said on his web page to watch out for a certain seller on eBay and even said his user name.

Title: Re: This bloke for real. Post by: John Winter on November 09, 2014, 11:40:58 PM I found a gold stater and had five free copies made as part of the deal to include the coin in a catalogue. Somebody bought one of the reproductions for £2.50 and went on to sell it for hundreds of pounds. I've written about it before, but it will resurrected in a new blog post soon.
Title: Re: This bloke for real. Post by: Resurgam on November 10, 2014, 12:36:13 AM Why would people sell there finds ? Perhaps to invest in a better detector? ;) As for said coin; it has now been withdrawn from sale! ??? Title: Re: This bloke for real.
