Some staters are very rare, as their designs are unique and command a price far in excess of their weight in gold. Others are quite common types and fetch the going rate. Given that they weigh about 6gms each, I calculate the find at approx. 5kg, which again is approx. 100k of Gordon's finest UK pound things.

Have you had a look at http://goldprice.org/live-gold-price.html ?? I'm another that always wondered about this, I just put it down to more members being based in the US. Possibly an incorrect assumption
