Different TT laws in Scotland Rob. We don't have PAS here unfortunately. Everything pre 1707 found belongs to the crown unless they decide they don't want it !!

yep i agree what a load of waffle ,,earlier this year i found a celtic tankard handle{bronze} even though it isnt bling apparantly there has only been 12 found in the country ,now i would have though that if the  tv moguls were after something unique and differant to flash on tv im sure that would be 1 of the finds {as well as many other unique and differant finds from all parts of the u.k},,,,OR is it lets see the bling aspect again.

Most of the finds I’ve seen so far would be in my junk box. I think I will line up my toy cannons and point them at the producer.

bronze tankard handles dont put bums on seats Paul im  affraid ........i'd just like to remind people of one of the rallies last year when a cheap and nasty chinese fake "rolex" watch was found and was pitted in the polls against the other artifacts that where found (one of which was my Roman broach)......now which one do you think won

I’ve always had this debate on other forums with those who frowned on those who sold the odd item. If you were to stumble on an Edward the Third gold Leopard worth £480,000 you are hardly likely to stick it in your top draw and forget about it, at what price would you sell.

Is it any more immoral than a bank fixing interest rates and costing everyone in the Country hundreds of pounds in interest, and paying million pound bonuses to bankers for failing to hit targets.

Politicians  buying duck ponds and second homes with tax payers money, thousands of pensioners being forced to sell their homes to fund their old age care.

Gordon Brown selling off £2.3billion of gold that would today have fetched a whopping £12.95billion. I think the odd item being sold is hardly going to bankrupt the Country, or raise an eyebrow.   Apart from the likes of Paul the vexatious blogger with incredibly itchy underpants, well it's looting init!

How about the old American Jew, who gave the honest finder who declared the 82, 20$ gold coins just 1 for his trouble.   Jerry.
