Every metal detectorist knows the law in England. Sounds like the guys tried to Jew the owner of the land, which to me is worse than them trying to fuck over the government.
10 years is too harsh though. A fine and being forced to share the appropriate amount with the land owner would have been plenty fair.

Last I checked the vikings currently have a nigger female in charge of their museums and treasures. Shit keeps catching on fire for no reason too.
""When the men found the treasure, they didn’t notify the farmer who owned the field or the authorities, ""
Metal detecting 101
E, they should have asked before going hunting. If they notified after then the finds would be the property of the farmer. Im guessing 'because the treasure was seized' its worth or itself wouldnt be returned to the lawfull owner, the farmer.
England has a pretty interesting system for this. You get cash, they keep the artifacts. That way people don't melt down priceless treasure. Not sure I agree with it, but that's why these guys are being sent to jail. They tried to keep the find for themselves. Because you know.... They found it and it was probably on their land.
