The National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden purchased the treasure with the help of the Friends Lottery. But for how much has not been announced. The museum, Koelink and Messelaar; they all keep their jaws tight. Half of the amount goes to the landowner and the other half to the honest finders. Also, no one wants to say where exactly in Bunnik it was. “No, we are not allowed to do that. Not even at the request of the land owner,” says archaeologist Cruysheer, who does not even want to say whether it was above or below the A12.
