Geez, but Iron Age Celts seem to have had a real litter problem: link "Oh, I can't wear those torcs again; I wore them last Beltane, and wouldn't you know it but Whynefar showed up in the exact same style. I can't stand to look at them— just throw them out of chariot, right here! And good riddance!"

Almost unbelievable, this one. Its been set-up by a metal detector manufacturer! Soon, every field will be full of folk plodding along waiting for a 'beep'. At least agricultural land will be used again, after the EU has destroyed our farming industry…. |

I thought it was feeding the bits of dead cow and pig to living cows and pigs was what destroyed our farming industry. |

Common Agricultural Policy destroyed our farming industry. Same way europe has  ed everything else! But thats going off topic. |

"The 35-year-old had only taken up the hobby five days before and this was his first outing with the newly bought metal detector." That is unbelievable! Steve

"Under Scots law, the Crown has the right to claim any find, with any payments made at their discretion." So I take it the law of Treasure Trove in Scotland is different than in England? What about Wales? N. Ireland? mjc |

I have heard of other treasures in europe, though they sound slightly mythical. Such as the "Butter Mountain", the "Milk Lake" or the "Fondue Volcano". Then there are the Oompa Loompas in Brussels. |

So I take it the law of Treasure Trove in Scotland is different than in England? I'll get this, I covered it in an archaeology course with the OU earlier in the year. Yes. Scotland is not included in the 1996 Treasure Act, which replaced the Common Law of Treasure Trove. All archaeological finds in Scotland, whether precious metal or not, are Treasure Trove until proven otherwise, although the Crown does not always exercise the right of claim. What about Wales? N. Ireland? Same as England. The Republic of Ireland has different laws |

In the future they will wandering the fields with plastic detectors! Well, you might find ancient boxes of Airfix figures worth £3,500! Until the Martian government confiscates them, that is. I wonder if they were offerings or one man's/family's hidden horde? |
