Hmmm, well this is Cliff Bradshaw, discoverer of the Ringlemere Gold Cup, and he got loads of publicity (see Google).

He discovered it by deliberately detecting on a "low mound" in the middle of a potato field that he recognised as probably prehistoric. It turned out to be a mostly ploughed out barrow that would have originally been one of the very largest in southern England....

Oh, and he and the farmer shared a reward of £250,000...

Diddums indeed. In fact so far as I'm concerned he can shove his metal detector.

You never change do you Nigel?
no matter what name you use.
I thought you were all for responsible detecting.
You have had one agenda,throughout your lies
and that's for banning detecting end of.
Your problem is saying one thing to your peers,and another to others.
Your secret has been out for a while now.
