Treasure Coins

Half of the money will go to the landowner and the rest has been split between the friends who found the coins - meaning they got around £300k each.

£90,000 is being given to scientific and educational projects which will study the Le Câtillon II coin hoard, discovered by two detectorists in Jersey in 2012.

Experts are calling for a survey of the Jersey site where more than 70,000 coins were found because of people illegally metal detecting and looting.
