So Willy Wonka upped his game to real treasure, eh?

Clever, that. Now folks will be shot for trespassing. Good job, Cadbury! (Can you say, “Lawsuit?”)

Archy Ooglyests get upset when they are shown to be replaceable by school kids.

If they really were for discovering the past they would be behind this a thousand percent.

Isn’t all archeology a modified form of stealing? Particularly the graves part anyway.

Its Britain!

They can go in their own backyards and have just as good a chance to find something.

A very close friend of mine used to live in the UK. One day a very old wall on her property collapsed and when she went to inspect the damage she came across a cache of gold and silver from the 17th century.

When she moved to the USA she smuggled it out with her and then sold it, paid the appropriate US taxes, and started a new life.

In the UK she was supposed to surrender it and trust that maybe someday the government would give her a pittance as a reward for being a tool.

I say good for her and likewise anyone else who discovers something on their own land and decides to keep it instead of handing it over to the socialists.

The Treasure Island ads encouraged children to "grab your metal detector and go hunting for Roman riches", but failed to warn that digging without permission is illegal. It suggested a number of sites across the UK and Ireland where "treasure's fair game".

Scan...Shovel...Shut Up.

This is a bit like saying “Go get a job,” and then not giving all of the instances of making money that are either illegal or immoral. The legality and morality of it are implied, are they not?

It seems to me that treasure hunting with the family is a wonderful way to spend family time. We find arrowheads and other various stuff on the farm where we live. Good clean fun.
