Not sure I understand this.
If the hoard was found by archaeologists, yes they still have to declare the treasure but under any excavation the pre planning phase HAS to nominate which museum will receive the artefacts with the agreement of the County Archaeologist.
One can only assume that the landowner has made a prior claim on the hoard which necessitates the museum having to buy it instead of receiving it as a gift/donation (which is the norm). :roll:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
