Doesn't fall under the terms of the Act, the finder with permission from the land-owner(you hope) would most likely split the money, I think it will go close to 1M.

Re: I'll stick this one on this list

I ran across this article earlier today, what an awesome find but I too thought about a man hole cover and probably not digging it as I have dug several man hole covers. I also thought about digging it and hitting it with the shovel, I just don't dig huge targets because they just aren't there in my areas. I wonder if it was skill or beginners luck? HH, Mike

Don't know if it were luck, but I bet that soldier got a bolloc*ing for losing his hat

Can't even imagine the look on the guy's face when it finally made it to the surface.
Tough to give up but good to do it as well!

the face mask would have looked silver as it had a very high tin content, the hair, hat & griffin were gold when new as they were bronze. It would have taken some strength to ride around with it
