A metal detectorist jailed after he stole Viking treasure worth over £5 million claims he gambled the whole fortune away.
Warehouseman George Powell, 40, failed to declare a cache of rare coins and jewellery that had been buried for over 1,100 years.
He was jailed for six years following the incident.
A court previously heard there may have been up to 300 coins included in the find, which took place at a farm near Leominster, Herefordshire, in 2015, although only 31 pieces were recovered.
The total value of the haul was predicted to be £5,285,250.
