Hmmm, well this is Cliff Bradshaw, discoverer of the Ringlemere Gold Cup, and he got loads of publicity (see Google).

He discovered it by deliberately detecting on a "low mound" in the middle of a potato field that he recognised as probably prehistoric. It turned out to be a mostly ploughed out barrow that would have originally been one of the very largest in southern England....

Oh, and he and the farmer shared a reward of £250,000...

Diddums indeed. In fact so far as I'm concerned he can shove his metal detector.
