Hey Tom, thanks for your input.
i understand where your coming from, but you have to understand that the p.a.s is there purely to help understand the vast history of the uk for everybody, and mainly the future generations. They acheive this by getting amazing finds into museums, where they belong.
Not only would your finds go on public display, but you get the full market value for them too!.
Its all good and well finding a million dollars of gold on farmer bobs field, but what happens when farmer bob wants his cut of be money?. My guess is that you try to find a private buyer who doesnt want to pay full market value to put into theyre private collection for nobody else to appreciate??.
Personally i will stick to the uk system
