Both the encounter with the private dealer in London, and awareness he is not cut out for a life of crime, convinces Martin that it is time to do the right thing and legally declare the hoard to the local Finds Liaison Officer, Sam Barnes. However, this revelation panics Ashley who is only too aware of what Rocky is capable of if he doesn't get his money. Attempts to reason with the ex-con fall on deaf ears.
Sam's refusal to accept that a ‘womble in combat trousers' such as a detectorist could possibly have found anything of significance, leaves a humiliated and furious Martin once again considering his options. And when Ashley revealing the true extent of his financial troubles is followed by a frightening encounter with an increasingly volatile Rocky, Martin decides to take positive action to finally sell off the hoard, once and for all.
A successful sale of a small portion of the hoard to a ‘nighthawk', convinces Martin that a softly softly approach is required to rid themselves of the treasure and pay off Rocky without attracting the attention of the police. However, time for Martin seems to be running out when DS Doyle from the Greater London Art and Artefacts squad follows a lead to Rocky and starts asking some awkward questions, and the situation threatens to get out of control.
At the same time, Laura is devastated when she discovers her bank account with the wedding fund in has been cleaned out. The subsequent emotional confrontation with Ashley has a frightening conclusion.
