Hey there Ming The Merciless! Thank you so much for catching my mis-representation via spelling error. I appreciate this. Perhaps I should not rely on ginseng vit b complex and energy drinks when making updates to wikipedia! We certianly need sentinels such as yourself protecting us from error.

Also the Message that you gave me "Say five times..." was absolutely hilarious. I always appreciate constructive criticism, especially when sarcasm and humor are synchronized in the notification of said criticism!

I have no intention of publicizing my identity, but I am happy to acknowledge that I am a graduate of St John's College, Oxford, and I resent the article for that institution being cluttered up with references to deeply obscure alumni. If you want to make your mark on Wikipedia by adding entries for Conservative political hacks, you could more usefully produce an article on someone a bit more notable, such as Sir Simon Milton.

Thanks for the Attempt at an Answer

I appreciate your trying to answer my question about the Harrogate hoard and whether the hoard's finders received financial compensation.

However, it seems to me incomplete. In a case where the historical artifacts are grabbed by archaeologists for study and then hauled off to a museum, what "value" do the finders and the property owner split, and from whom? Is the "value" determined by the museum, and must they then pay that compensation? Or does the stipulated amount (again, determined by who?) come from the Treasury? If the land is publicly owned, does the Crown receive the landowner's share? Or the local government?

Thanks for getting me to thinking about the matter further, though.
