Great story. Nice find! One questions... does the gentleman that found the treasure get any sort of reward for his honesty?

That is a good question. How many of us are amateur archaeologists and how many of us are just plain grave robbers. Most of the archeology books that I read dislike amateurs playing in their playground. Good luck and good hunting.

Under the terms of legislation regarding Treasure, the High Bailiff's decision means that the hoard is offered to Manx National Heritage.

The organisation will now establish the collection's value and its finder will receive a reward
