If no museum expresses an interest (or is able to raise the funds) in buying it, it will be returned to the finder.
Otherwise, no. He and the landowner will get the value of the find once sold (assuming they had previously made such an agreement) Title to the find actually rests with the landowner.

Thanks for the info, Matt
I always wondered about the legalities of these metal-detector finds.
