Sorry but the link doesn't seem to be to the story, at least not for me, there are a bunch of stories at that link but I don't see the one referenced.

Apart from the excitement and kudos of the discovery, under our 'Treasure Act' laws the finder and the landowner get a 50:50 share of the £254,000 paid by the Yorkshire Museum to acquire the artefacts for the nation.
