None of those treasures will be put for sale. They will be kept by the government.

I'm sure as with all discoveries the person who discovered it would have taken a few mementos before they announced the find.  These mementos may go up for sale and be put into circulation through the black market, although none of us would probably be able to afford any of them.

It's like the gold panners in the 1800s who find a rich strike and work it for a few days before they stake their claim and cause a mass gold rush.

When King Tutankhamen's tomb was discovered one of the first things to go missing was the poor guy's Johnson.

These self righteous, over educated, elitists are the same ones who complain about the masses using their metal detectors to vandalize important sites. By vandalize they mean getting to the loot before they do.

There are piles of lost cities in Florida, the English killed the French, the Spanish killed the English, the Seminole Indians killed off the survivors and good 'ole Andy Jackson killed them. Every wave of colonists left behind their forts and settlements, most have yet to be excavated completely.

I'd like to spend a weekend digging holes and vaguely pointing my shotgun in the direction of any college professor types. The coins would be great but seeing vapid academics peeing in their pants would be priceless.
Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.
