I suspect he hasn't realised that the arrangement between the farmer and the treasure hunter isn't a contract as such, it's more of a conspiracy to commit fraud/theft. He's really not very bright.
Explain just how it can be a conspiracy! For it to be that the act of detecting and unearthing artefacts would need to be illegal. It isn't because the farmer owns the land and has given his consent to exploit it. When the artefact is found it used to be decided by a Coroner's Court as to whether or not it was treasure trove, the test being whether it had been hidden to a view of recovery later. Beaches however come under Crown property so the law is different. In any case a landowner can agree to prospecting on the basis of either 50/50 or any other split they may decide between them. This then forms the contract. It doesn't need to be written, verbal is the norm. If the detectorist reneges on this arrangement the normal recourse would be by civil action. The police won't want to know. As for the allegation against me I would merely add that all monies given to me by Rishi were totally legitimate as I was a registered business owner. I did make enquiries before accepting this largesse and was informed by the authorities that I was entitled. So put that in your pipe and smoke it!
No and I really couldn’t give a monkeys what you believe but feel free to provide some evidence for your claim.
An example of evidence: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-56945507 Failure to declare all of the coins to the land owner specifically referred to as theft.
Hoist by your own petard. The key sentence. " He thought that he had permission to search the land, but he did not." That changes the status from fraud to theft. I think that you should run up the white flag now to avoid more embarrassment to yourself.
What seems to be the problem here? I will manage to tell you who is correct, there isn't much I don't know.
Hope they had permission to start digging holes in the campsite: https://www.itv.com/news/westcountr...of-roman-coins-worth-thousands-under-campsite
