So far, there is not a word there, straight from the horse's mouth, as it were, that there is the slightest inkling of what "responsible detecting" or "best practice" actually would consist of in a case like this. I say "would consist of" because in reality it is almost totally a myth. That's despite all those years outreach and seventeen million pounds thrown in the mud after somebody's "wouldn't it be nice" dream. Let us look at the realities of artefact hunting in the UK today and think of a better way of dealing with the problems it causes.
Now that's coolwell done.

Great resultHope the bottom layers are gold and the middle silver
WOW! What a find! Good work on the recovery.
Even if it's not your find mate, how lucky you are to witness that. It's something most of us will never see in our lifetimes.
Fantastic thing and almost intact... I bet the archi's will be short stroking over that one
That image is amazing, and knowing 2000 yrs ago a roman knelt in that spot and buried it for what ever reason, cd

" - this was on a Sunday when the FLO was at home]

I had a sound like a coke can, but it was a coke can. Thanks for sharing that.

Great stuff tomo well done to finder
As a short term measure, I suggest anyone irresponsibly going against the Treasure Act Code of Practice should forfeiting 90% of the discretionary "reward" money. What are we rewarding this sort of behaviour for? We should be rewarding responsible behaviour, not irresponsible behaviour, and the difference is set down in a document that has been in the public domain for almost as long as the Treasure Act itself. There is no excuse for this.
UPDATE 24.09.14,
The find should be known until we get more details as the ‘Dunelme hoard’
