20 minutes with an ace 150 and a you tube? Really am happy for this guy...now I think I'll go throw up my spleen.

At least the government doesn't take it away....

"...The remarkable story behind the find emerged yesterday at a formal inquest which was held to decide if the coins qualified as ‘treasure trove’.

Hertfordshire Coroner Edward Thomas ruled that they did and the coins will now be sent to the British Museum for a formal valuation before they go up for auction.

Any proceeds made could be split between Mr Carrington and the owner of the land where the find was made..."

Brian, this is how the British system works.
