    Wow. I can't believe you found it and then had to give it up. But it is really cool.

    I sometimes work/help with the museum. And yes i donate it to the museum.

    If i would sell it- ofcourse i could get alot of money for it, but remember one very very important thing- not everything is about money. In a museum everyone can see it, forever...

    That's an important find. I'd love to find something historically important enough to be a museum piece. Congrats!

    This is the right attitude, we need more people like this. How do your Laws on detecting work?

    I record things properly for study but lend stuff to the Museum instead of donating. If I gave it to the Museum I couldn't use it for other displays, when I wanted.

    As for your last comment;

    You know you could have sold it to the museums, they buy things too. That's a very good gesture for you to just give it to them. Remember this is coming from someone without any money...

    A very interesting find. I also applaud that you donated it to the museum. You're right...Not everything is about money.

    Congrats on the super find!!!
