Very interesting column. The laws are different in England but it make one wonder about large caches of relics/coins found in the US which are kept hush hush.

Even deleting the images is not good enough. the location where the files were initially stored must be wiped to remove all evidence of the image. Deleting often only removes it from the index table, for example the older windows used FAT the file allocation table. Deletion removed the entry from here not from the drive itself. An application used to restore files including images simply scans the drives for files not in the FAT.

Jason in Enid - perhaps an expert will correct me but once the UK Treasure Valuation Committee assign worth to the find, museums then bid on it which drives the price up.

The real controversy is over a proposed update to the law which says even single antique coin finds must be declared treasure. Not certain if that ever passed parliament.
