        Anyone interested in archaeology out there? Just saw an episode of Pawn Stars where a guy walked in store wanting to sell Viking artificats which included a gold bracelet. He said he got them from a dealer in the UK. I know it’s illegal to trade in these items in Ireland. Do UK laws differ. I nearly fell over when they made a deal in store. Should this guy not have been reported??

        Celtic,
        Not 100% sure but I think as long as he didn’t dig it up then he can do what he wants with it. If dug up its treasure trove and has to be reported and handed in to treasury/revenue. He would however get something for it or possibly have it returned after valuation.

        It’s called treasure trove alright. Anything dug up that’s “ancient” of any type, metal, wood, clay etc Has to be handed in as it belongs to the crown by default, pretty much like here. If it’s not worth much you get it back and do what you want with it. If it’s worth a few quid you get something back depending how much it’s worth and the crown (or national museum as it is) keeps it.
