Treasure find by dad and son
By Ben Briggs

TWO 14th century coins found in a field have been declared treasure trove.

Ron Blair, 60, of Windermere Avenue, Clitheroe, and son James, 37, of Nelson Street, found 30 medieval coins on a metal detecting expedition near Clitheroe last August. . . .

Due to the nature of the coins and their quantity, they have been classified "treasure trove" and must be valued before being offered for sale to museums Among the coins were pennies, halfpennies, groats and half groats from the time of Edward I and Edward II, Henry V and Henry VI.

The earliest are from 1351 and the latest around 1427. . . . . .

Yeah! How can they be confiscated if they don't know about them?? Seems the UK folks obey "rules" better than we might, huh?

"We had to let a field liaison officer at Preston Museum know within 16 days otherwise they'd have been confiscated."

Not that I'm very well informed on this sort of thing.
But, I believe that them folks at Treasure Trove check all sales of relevant items that come up on E-bay.
Some would say down & dirty.
