Yeah I hand it in get receipt etc. Officially it then belongs to the Crown. It get assessed if the British Museum want it it get independent valuation and Farmer and myself get half each. If they don't want it it come back to me and I would have to sell it and give the Farmer half. They aim to get it done in 18 months but I know people that have waited three years. That fair FFS. Its no wonder people don't declare stuff. I know lots would just say sky rocket it and say f**k all. For me I will do it the right way. The Farmer and his Father before him have been very good to me. They let me Hunt,Shoot let me cut logs and metal detecting . Above all that let me put my Sons ashes and plant an every green Oak on part of their land. So the Farmer will get his half what ever that may be. Cheers Arry 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know the Wife would be shitting herself about it if I sky rocketed it. I would have had to not tell anybody no even you Guys on here Lol. f**k me I was so made up I wanted to shout it from the highest hill. I would be chuffed to f**k if the British Museum bought it and knew it was on display there. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
