In this case it seems correct.

Will you search the loamy earth for me?

I have mentioned this to the writer (my partner) he will correct it.

Edit. The article has been updated but can't seem to update the title of this post

Finders keepers in the US, but we don’t have stuff like this.

Just want to point out it's not Conway but Conwy.

Probably shouldn't have tried to take it through the airport then.

In most countries anything culturally significant or historic or valuable past a certain amount, goes to the government. Sometimes there is a reward that the museums or gov will give to the person who found it but it's rare that if you found a treasure it's yours, and rare to get a large cut. In many countries you have to report any finds within a certain amount of time.

On private land sometimes it's a deal you make with the landowner before you have permission to scout the land.

A lot of people just don't report their finds and sell them through a black market, or just keep them as souvenirs and don't sell them or notify anyone.

Just read it? They directly quote the archaeologist in charge.

I've actually always wondered how hard it is to find a "fence" to sell treasure that was supposed to be relinquished to a museum.

I guess only if you make the find public.

Depends on the country, for example, it is illegal to metal detect in Hungary without an affiliation and permission from a county museum.

Anything found becomes property of the state, and is placed in the custody of the museum.

Does anyone know where I can find a good list of the ranks on a merchant ship from the 18th or early 19th century? Google has not been particularly helpful. Thanks!

Interesting! If I'm reading the maps correctly that area experienced some massive foods in the 12th and 13th centuries. Maybe the treasure was deposited by one of them?

> He had reported his find to the intermunicipal organization Archeology West Friesland, where he also works. The pieces were then taken to the National Museum of Antiquities, where they were cleaned, preserved and examined.

I thought it was just a hobbyist at first. In most countries, are you allowed to keep or sell rare artifacts you find? Or do they just automatically belong to the state or something?

I’m working my way through the presidents. Finished Chernow’s Washington and McCullough’s John Adams. For Jefferson I’m thinking either Boles or Meacham, and didn’t know if anyone here has a strong feeling on either one. Thanks!

>assassinations out of the US

Wait wait wait, I hate to be terribly cliche here but

Is nobody going to say…

Franz Ferdinand?

The Herhausen assassination.

A terror group assasinated a German banker in 1989.

The part of unique interest is the method. The banker travelled everywhere in a heavily armored car. So, they rigged up a IED.

They put a bicycle where his car was going to pass, filled a satchel on the bike with explosive, and rigged up an infrared laser as the trigger. When the bankers car passed through the laser … boom.

But the key point, the explosive didn’t kill the banker. The car would have possibly survived that.

They’d put a copper plate in front of the explosive charge, so when the explosive blew up, they turned the copper plate into a giant molten copper bullet, flying at (through) the banker’s car at hypersonic speed.

This technique, using an “explosively formed penetrator” is common in military weapons, like RPGs and anti-tank rockets,

But building one into an IED and using an infrared laser to activate it, these were breakthrough techniques in 1989. This may be the first time they’d been used.

It was really interesting not dry at all and if you like the book you should check out his other one "Conquistadors" by buddy levy

Does anyone have a good book about Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart?

The change in the words isn't the important part - tracing the changes through time is how we arrive at the original PIE word. The important part is that the words were conserved throughout the daughter languages which indicates that the original PIE speakers had words for them and the were used enough and important enough to be passed down from the generations. A lot of really common words in IE languages can be traced back all the way to the hypothesized mother tongue simply because they are commonly used words. The fact that there are tons of preserved words relating to horses, chariots, and wagons tell us that the original PIE speakers likely used them a lot.
