FLO is the Finds Liason Officer....when you metal detect over in the UK you have to strictly follow the Portable Antiquities Scheme and the Treasure Act....

Great find. Way to go!
But what is that gold speck on your finger to the right of coin?
Are you panning gold also?
Not sure what that is....I have to start detecting with gloves on I think...lol

I'm sure there are some British detectorists who are quite aggro that a Canadian stops by on a vacay and lands a gold coin.  |

Quite possible, but most comments are positive....another reason to follow the rules and report all your finds...HH

But Lance and Andy (pictured above) both found gold. However, only Lance did the Gold Dance and suffered the Curse of the Gold.

Congratulations! You played by the rules, and now it's yours fair and square. I only wish the rest of the EU and middle east were so "tolerant" of our hobby!

Nice to see a law-abiding detectorist get his just reward. I wish the rest of Europe was like the UK when it came to ancients. It seems to strike a fair balance between collectors and archaeologists.
