Different kind of pounds LOL Those are some fantastic pieces! Half of that would buy a nice detector.

The hoard was bought for 4.5 million pounds, not that it weighed 4.3 million pounds. If that were the case each coin would have weighed 1,720 pounds. Now that would be real pocket change.

Kind of sucks when you're detecting in the UK you're forced to sell it to the government at whatever they determine the value to be.. you know they're going to lowball it..
