    The sentence he received does seem a bit harsh to me.


    Powell was found guilty of theft, conspiracy to conceal criminal property and conspiracy to convert criminal property in November 2019.

    He was jailed for ten years after failing to report his find and handed over just three coins - out of a 1,100 year-old collection from the reign of King Alfred worth £12 million.

    Powell was convicted alongside his friend Layton Davies 56, from Pontypridd and experts said the hoard had the potential to "rewrite history".

    They stumbled upon the collection of coins, jewellery and silver ingots buried at Eye Court Farm, near Leominster, Herefordshire, in the spring of 2015.

    Today, he holds the belief that his sentence was unjust.
