XXTickerXX Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wonder how much the two men will make out of this, or will it all go to the government? I think they have to have permission off a land owner first and the usual split is 50/50 for any significant find but then if it classed as treasure and the government want it they have to pay market rates.Technically, all hidden treasure found in the UK belongs to the Queen. http://gouk.about.com/od/tripplanning/a/Finding_Treasure.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
