"I finally got paid today for my hoard, and received a message on my answer phone from radio Gloucestershire, apparently they want me to speak to them about the outcome.

I think you can call this payback time, as I now intend under the freedom of information act to get a complete breakdown of the costs of the excavation and see why it cost £20000,

and why they spent tax payers money on buying up all the magazine articles I wrote, and sending them to the landowner, to cause a rift between us.

And why a museum which had been closed for 2 years after a £5 million refurbishment didn’t have a secure finds cabinet to house the hoard, so they conned the general public into paying £3000 for one, did this represent best value.

And why the archies didn’t turn up for 2 months after I discovered the hoard, even though some of the gold was on the surface.

And finally why the archies are complete ---HOLES.

Although it think the last question is fairly obvious.”
