    The Splash screens are annoying and overly loud. Just select game .. play game. No other steps required. All menus to accessible from within the game. Stop holding up my SSD with other crap.

    Having to use a second language to work translation software may not be the end goal. When it can do Glaswegian you know it is working well.

    At any point, have you ever had a religious person say "I think you're right, it is all bollocks!" after they've had a chat with you?. It seems like so much hard work to destroy the fantasy.

    Would you be paying them to protect their own land, whilst you make use of it in that case? Its fair until they make it unfair and take it away.

    Treasure (Designation) Order 2002 Does the title deed not establish a right? I guess if the dead person wanted their property back then they should have registered the lost property with the police :) I'd mod you up; but cannot. thank you for the links.

    I think in Italy you've got a much better chance of finding a roman coin in the soil than in the UK. :)
    Regarding the owner, can you get back payment for rent from the government? They kept their property stored on your land for 2000 years.

  15. Re:Good that he reported it on Man Finds Roman Gold Coin Hoard Worth £100,000 With Metal Detector · · Score: 5, Informative

    The search was on private land. So they person that owns the land owns the stuff. Normally a farmer give permission for you to piss about in their land with a detector and if you find anything they'll give a 50/50 split.

    http://www.archaeologyuk.org/ba/ba114/feat2.shtml
    The Property Act 1925, and subsequent judicial rulings, state that a person owns everything which is in their land. This has been understood to mean, as Lord Renfrew put it when writing about an iron age hoard (in Loot, Legitimacy and Ownership, Duckworth 2000), that "the original owner of the land where the finds were made [is...] their rightful owner". This assumption is correct – so long as the artefacts were not removed from the land by a person authorised to do so.

    I think they don't make the association from the lesson to real world things. I know i didn't. I just sat there bored. In one lesson we made a solution of water and ethanol, the set up some apparatus and then burnt off the reclaimed ethanol. A Still! I didn't know.. was just pointless at the time. I'd love all the kit now.
