Re: Hoard’s value ‘too low’
Noticed the report was from Nov.2016.I wonder if anything came of that. The find was made in 1996, if he waited 20 years to "go to the papers" then the simple answer is No. Statute of limitations (Limitations Act 1980) limits such a "claim" to 6 years so his time ran out in 2002...

Re: hoard from river tees declared treasure finds
They search the river at Piercebridge.
Its an interesting point that, only now, has the collection been too inquest after 30 years of searching.

Re: Test track plans for site of Battle of Bosworth
Those 25 acres represent about 0.8% of the "battle site". As we know these battle fields are very ephemeral things with skirmishes and fights across a massive area. Metal detecting has already proved the "accepted" battlefield is not in the right place, neither is the visitors ce...

Re: Looters suspected of raiding Castle Hill...
Lack of education is our enemy, all retailers should be compelled to provide a copy of the Code of Conduct and tell every customer about gaining permission. The downside to that is the retailer may lose a few sales & it doesn`t cover the second hand market. Aside from that..................... l...

Re: Looters suspected of raiding Castle Hill...
A typical loose sample of fairly dry topsoil weighs around 1600 pounds per cubic yard. There are 27 cubic feet in a yard and 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot. 1600/27=59.26 pounds a cubic foot. So if the holes are 1/4 of a cubic foot, roughly 15lbs ...... then somebody is lugging 6 x 15lbs or 90lbs of s...

Re: Looters suspected of raiding Castle Hill...
Some of it can be seen at the bottom of the shot. Do I take it that you have sympathy for the perpetrators of what has happened, or are you just being contrary again ?

Re: Looters suspected of raiding Castle Hill...
Where has the turf gone then?
