The cross came under this law which has not to my knowledge been rescinded or updated. Tucker's Cross is still unrecovered and likely in someone's private collection.

      I live in the British Channel Islands and was once a brief member of our local metal detecting group, at one meeting in the pub myself and my mate were invited to go and detect a field with these guys who were chasing a legend, we politely declined as we were having fun detecting the beaches, and to be honest, thought they were chasing a ghost.
      Fast forward a week or two, they found what they'd spent thirty years or so looking for, turned out to be the largest Celtic hoard ever discovered.
      The Government has laid claim to it, the coin that I was handed (just to look at) was valued at £700, and there was a pile about 1x5x5m, with gold torques and stuff mixed in.
      I've always regretted not taking them up on their offer to detect that field,

      Shp96 They took if straight away, as soon as they made the find the field was cordoned-off and put under 24 hour police guard while expert archaeologists finished removing the hoard, then it was taken to the local museum where it was slowly and meticulously taken apart and cleaned piece by piece, if I remember right it took over a year for them to do that, you could visit the museum and watch them working through a screen, one moment and I'll dig up some articles on it 👍

      Bruh you don’t seem to get it. First off, you’re assuming the guy who stole the cross has connections to people with hundreds of millions of dollars because he can’t exactly just put it up for sale and hope one bites. Second, that cross was worth so much money that if you’re caught with it you’re going to lose hundreds of millions of dollars and decades of your life for grand larceny charges. I’m sure there are Rich guys who would buy it, but it’s implausible to assume that the thief has the means to fence that item and expect to get full price for it. In general, ripping the stones out and melting the gold is far easier to do and carries little risk. Once he has the stones independently he can sell them to pretty much anyone because of how difficult it would be to identify them, and once the gold is melted down it’s literally impossible to tell it was the cross, so in general, it’s just not practical to steal and sell something like that unless you already had a buyer lined up prior to you stealing it, and that’s just so unlikely that it’s almost guaranteed that the cross was stripped and melted.

      Either they had a buyer lined up or were hired by someone to steal it. They took the time to make a replica to give themselves as much time as possible to move the real one, and it worked for several years.
      The tiny amount of gold and few emeralds in this cross are worth a bit sure, but the whole thing together is greater than the sum of it's parts.
      A team who had the skill set to create a very convincing forgery and steal it without being detected could have just gone after solid gold bars, which would be worth 100x as much after being melted.

    The Museums take most treasures and leave them locked away never to be
    seen again! Trust me on this as I am a detectorist that has seen many
    treasures lost under the process of cataloguing and identifying. Great
    Video once again T2! Anything to do with treasure and mysteries always
    gets me!

      until the museum and the back market reach a stable agreement, things will be like this. however both hold to their own.. one foolishly says the treasure belongs to the museum and has no need to pay the finder.. and one is finders keepers.. I suggest a compromise. collective greed or individual greed same thing.. everybody wants to eat.. also many museum do indeed steal their own treasures to sell it to the black market anyway :)))

He was also at that time, the official island escort for all Royalty and Presidents who visited Bermuda.

      I learned it from an indian Jesuit priest who taught theology at my university. I checked, and it's true. Mother Theresa was a faud. People have send her money bc they thought she was helping the sick and the dying. In reality, most of the money went to missionary work, converting pple to Catholicism. Dying people were kept in horrific conditions and denied meds. She also have been accused by many of converting unconscious patients to Catholicism.

      Yeah, she would tell suffering and dying children, that more they suffered pain, the closer they got to heaven. But she rarely spent any time in her orphanages themselves, in fact she could barely speak the local dialect of the Indian people, where she claimed to have spent her whole life. She spent most of her time at charity event parties, fundraising dinners, and reward banquets, rubbing elbows with celebrities, politicians and royalty.
