The detectorist who found this dropped into my museum a few years ago and was telling me the story of the complications that ensue when a landowner dies when the acquisition process is going through...
Oh, how interesting — presumably makes any agreements null? Or not?
As far as I remember the original landowner passed away while the agreement about payment was going through, and there was a delay while probate was happening and a new agreement made with the heir.
Oh wow, that is so amazing!
Isn't it just! :)
Must have taken some skill too to make without breaking anything. Quite impressive.
