Anything found before today that is ‘significant’ is exempt.

Just for clarity though if your collection of silver and gold include items that aren’t coins and over 300 years old then they would have classified previously and should have been declared. If you do have any you aren’t sure about feel free to post them for advice. Declaring items you found years before is fine as you have 14 days to declare them from when you recognise they are treasure.
Yes I really don’t like Roman coins, I’m not joking
