The other
troublesome comment was about the recyclers: "That's pretty
much what my local scrapper does . [tomb raiding for gold]. . .". Now

Yeah, that's what I said, and it's based on my
experiences with a local
party. I bring him a pile of stuff culled from his various heaps,
and the question is "Let's how much gold you got there".
I made this statement because it parallels the
'treasure hunter'
mentality
towards archeological digs during the early part of the last century.
"How much gold we got?". Alot of history got melted as a result.
Well, archeology was, and still _is_ about value, and I'm not
talking about anything beside money. Just look at your news.
If theres a stupid pile of roman silver, it's top news and
it gets a lot of attention. The historic value is zero, but
it's silver - on the other side, it needs a earth shaking
discovery (like the Keltic statue two years ago) just to
have a few lines...
