dont trust anyone on your land, lucky thats an honest guy..

i watched a program where people walk about farmers fields and peoples land looking for rare coins etc and fecking off with them.. they should declare the finds, but the people in charge on that stuff only pay the finder 20% of the value and sell them..

hence they find them on the quiet and sell them under peoples noses..
