“The treasure belongs to the nation,” he told them.

This is probably the same guy who's a-OK with niggers and dune coons fucking up the UK.

The poor guys were insane to disclose their discovery.

That sort of thing you smuggle elsewhere and use an intermediary to sell to a private collector.

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.

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.

I think if you find a buried treasure, under the ground for centuries, that you should keep it, and keep your mouth shut about it, until you figure out how to sell it. Fuck the government.

This is why colonists fought a revolution.

If you find something deep in the ground that's been lost so long everyone who knew about it has died, and then people kidnap you and lock you in a cell because you didn't give your find away to them, you are a slave.

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.
