Provisional Treasure Valuation - Opinions please?

[Radnor Bandit (Ian)]

Just for the record, I read a article on this subject .that the goverment pot that the funds for rewards are allocated from also covers the general "slush fund" for the London olympics. I think that answers all questions why offered rewards are so low.
Also in my case in progress when no comparative item can be found on record Im sure that the offer will be as low as feasably possible.
 I agree that a good photo record should be made before handing potential finds over (which I failed to do ) a mistake I will not repeat.
Maybe a few links to reputable independant valuers/dealers could be included on the forum.
