It winds me up seeing people demanding "market" value when that few k he didn't get could make a difference by funding 5% or more of an archaeological dig. They shouldn't get anything imo, though I accept a token finders fee (say 10% market value) would be a nice gesture.


Agreed, that would strike a balance better between those detecting for financial gain only and the "gain" to the public of things being found away from actual monuments (i.e. fields with nothing apparently in them, where no dig will ever be funded unless a housing estate is looming).
