The largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold coins to be found in England has been declared treasure at an inquest. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-59151380 Lots of interesting information on that article. Notice a bent copper also got busted. I send photos and descriptions of everything I find to the farmer, not interested in cheating him out of any cash. Not that I ever find anything that valuable. Let's not talk about club digs which I used to go to...

I've found a few, also a VHS tape which was one of those foreign language (Dutch) films about a woman who called upon the services of a plumber, then got burgled, then had two burly cops come round. Then weeks later I found another VHS tape close to where I'd found the first so rushed home to play it. ****ing Dances With Wolves.

They are bronze so scrap value is small, maybe £50 if that. They are not particularly rare, plenty of people, not me, have found one. The picture shows a sample of the 65 items, about a third of which are intact so can only assume about a third of the haul is, making 20-25 intact. Individually, intact, they would sell for about £100 each on ebay. The value will be decided by the coroner and some museum experts, they are not known for being over generous in their valuations.
