The former makes all the difference. You seem to know a vast amount about this find and I am starting to think I know who you are, which is a bit disappointing.
Of course I understand the difference, but like I said the site was evaluated after the find which revealed nothing. The reason why a significant number of finds are not reported is exactly what i have been talking about and the abuse that both the landowner and finder recieved was shocking. Like I keep saying they have not done anything wrong, the went through the correct channels after seeking full legal advice. Who can blame them if they wanted to sell it at the highest price, I know I would if I found the item under the same circumstances. That said, of course the find is of international importance but so are lots of other items which remain hidden in unit store rooms etc etc.
Do I really care if you do know me...hmm no.
