Under *current* legislation (England & Wales) I do not have to declare it but I can submit for entry on the GB finds data base.
*There is currently a legal document which is up for discussion and consultation to those who are involved in metal detecting to amend the Treasure Act 1996 Code of Practice..
There are reasons why the authorities feel the need to update the legal side of our chosen hobby. Not sure I fully agree with them
Under a revised act of 1996 the coin would have to be declared by law to the appropriate authorities, should it 'ever' come into force..
Absolutely stunning! Congrats on the find! And it's quite impressive that historians can even figure out a time period that the coin was minted, thousands of years ago, down to a couple of months!
AMAZING FIND!!! Any time I see something you post I have to click LOL! I haven't been let down yet! This just confirms my need to go metal detecting in England!
