Billy wouldn't be so lucky...

And the finder may have been quite lucky to have been in Scotland as
well...from a legal standpoint...

Hello

I hope het gets a lot more.

Mr Booth stands to earn a reward equivalent
to the market value of his record find - he
says �1m "would be lovely" but he'd settle
for paying off his Ford Focus.

I think the finder will do very very well; but I'm not sure that his
"reward" won't be reduced because he didn't leave the items "in situ"
- taking the things home and washing them reduces the archaeologist's
ability to gather clues about the conditions of the "deposit".
England may be more strict about this than Scotland; the laws aren't
exactly the same.
