2019-11-23 | Men who found Viking treasure using metal detectors sentenced to prison for failure to report find - The Washington Post

'Authorities say there are outstanding coins from the loot, and they are urging other metal detectorists and coin dealers to contact them if they’ve seen or heard about the Viking coins. '

'When the men found the treasure, they didn’t notify the farmer who owned the field or the authorities, BBC reported. '

'Only 31 of 300 coins reportedly in the treasure trove have been recovered, according to the British broadcaster. '

'The coins were typical of Viking use in the 9th and 10th centuries in Britain. '

'Instead, they contacted antiquities dealers and the National Museum Wales, to which they only declared one coin each and three pieces of jewelry. '
