Given how much info archaeologists gleaned from the finds at Sutton Hoo, this promises to expand our understanding of Anglo-Saxon culture enormously.

Hmmm. Wonder how much a decent metal detector is?

It's always been that way. The British Museum values the hoard and then that money is paid out to the finder and the landowner. From what I understand, there is so much academic scrutiny of these finds that the real value does tend to get paid out.

I think the law harks back to the Spanish galleons bringing treasure back from the New World. The Crown needed it to pa for the endless series of wars it was engaged in at that time.
