hi all , the finder of the hoard will be finacially set for the rest of his life, but will he still get the same buzz, everytime he leaves home to go detecting in the future after such an out of this world  find, lets face it.    It will not be bettered for a very long time  "if ever"  what are your views please

WELL BUD ,,,, I PERSONALLY WOULD STILL BE OUT THERE ,,, I KNOW  HE  WILL HAVE THE CASH TO BUY THE BEST COIN COLLECTION   MONEY CAN BUY ,,,,,, BUT ITS NOT THE SAME AS GETTING OUT THERE  AND WAITING FOR THAT BEEP  AND DIGGING  IN ANTICAPATION  AS TO WHATS  UNDER THE DIRT ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)

i would still go detecting after all its my hobby

The financial reward he will get from the find will be fantastic, but if he's a truly dedicated detectorist, he'll still get a buzz from finding the odd hammered , milled silver ect.  On a far smaller scale , I've found hammereds , but when I dig up a nice Vicky half penny I still get a buzz.

I hope he continues to detect and I hope he still finds it rewarding to claim these 'insignificant' jewels of history back from the soil.

i know TAFF even if he found a £1000000 hoard he would still run down a field with his shirt over his head and his belly flapping if he found a hammy .........iv seen that in real life ;D ;)

Is he a member of a detecting forum?

write up in the mail said the farmer is not to happy with him ,farmer said "its all about money to him " ???

You nearly had a buzz from something else the other day Rob ;D

I would still go detecting but maybe own about 10 machines  ,

I used to go fishing two or three times a week sometimes. Then I caught a thirty three pounds cod. Went a couple of times after but it wasn't the same. I wonder if the finder of this hoard will lose the thrill too?

With the money he will get he can go detecting with a new JCB (GT model of course ) as well to dig it up

hi "jonola"  "jon" you have hit the nail on the head,  micky coin   mick

Don't know if there's any truth in it but on The One Show last night they said that he bought the detector 14yrs ago and paid £2.50p for it.  :o :o ???

what a deal that would be thease days .

One report said he was using a Whites XLT but if its the press and they dont know they would just make it up.

I like Malcolms' idea - a JCB with a big bucket fitted and dig 6 foot trenches and detect over the spoil heaps  ;D It would sure work for me!  Rob - with your bad back, you could still dig - I'll hire you as my 'personal JCB operative' - just think - axe-heads, torcs, hammies ............... ;D ;D
