King John's treasure is still very much a part of the cultural
landscape in Norfolk. Anyone digging a hole for gardening or
construction purposes runs the risk of some smartass coming along and
asking whether he has found King John's treasure yet.
I saw a documentary some time ago that I can't find any more about
some guys who raised money to look for King John's treasure with
ground penetrating radar. They were unsuccessful but with more money
and more recent technology there might be a startup opportunity in
there somewhere. On the other hand, I can't imagine they'd be allowed
to keep it.
- sgt101 2y agoThe law is clear - Treasure Act 1996. They'd get 1/2 the value and the other 1/2 goes to the landowner. But - no, they wouldn't get to keep the items or dispose of them as they wished.
