What a bunch of krap. At least now when I find my horde of dubloons I'll know to melt it down, and not call the press.

No kidding. 18 years searching and some doorknob coroner declares it treasure and gives it to the crown. Hope he gets at least a case of beer as a finder's fee.

From the article:

"BBC correspondent Nick Higham said the hoard would be valued by the British Museum and the money passed on to Mr Herbert and the landowner."

At least he gets the dough...

All that buried treasure should be labeled the Mile Low Collection.
