Abstract
In the more than twenty years since the [Great Britain] Treasure Act 1996 entered into force, there have been many dramatic discoveries of treasure. The media frequently reports the results of remarkable finds, usually made by metal detectorists in infields and open spaces. A unique, not to say bizarre, example, however, is the discovery of a cache of gold coins found concealed in a piano in Shropshire in 2016. It makes the point that the old law of treasure trove still has a twilight existence in circumstances that are prone to recur.
