Re: TREASURE - RARE VIKING SILVER INGOT...
after reading about it on the web page you provided it seems to be a very rare find obviously, don't you have to send everything rare you find in the UK to the national trust to see if that want it for there collection if so i am worried they may get to keep it from you.

It will shortly be on its way to the British Museum & after about 18 months, I will either get it back or share half the market valuation with the farmer

that is a fairly good deal, i watched a show when one guy dug up a gold hoard in England in a field and had to share the profit 50 50 with the farmer, oh ya i nominated this post to the banner, the question is not if it will make the banner but when it will make the banner

These do attract attention, you saw it here first, hours after digging 
Generally most people split the finds 50/50 but in Law it is whatever the prior agreement was. (so some variation can occur)
