Here is the link to an article in a successful online newspaper, which should be self-explanatory.

The case for prospectors, (both detectorists and panners) and landowners to work together across the UK without paying any Royal duties is now gaining ground. We have a lot of ground to cover in Scotland, Wales and England.

5 and 25 are significant amounts of gold and silver and if the CEC can be kept from dipping their hands into the pot mores the better.

Yep, last night the Crown Estate Commission closed every link and reference to Mines Royal on the internet and on its own website. Due to For Argyll's story an internal inquiry in now underway. I'll update when more info is available.

Are you saying that the CEC is withdrawing and holding under a tight seal any information concerning Mines Royal so as to hold the public ignorant of the subject.  If the UK has any kind of freedom of information law now is the time to find a young lawyer who wants to get his name out there and shine up his name plate and sue the CEC for withholding info the public has a right to.

BTW I'm not trying to push our system of rights on you folks, but rather the right every person throughout the world should have i.e. the right to know what the government is doing for/to them.

God bless,
Gramps aka Dennis, my wifes menace

The links are still deleted, so yesterday I spoke to someone in the industry with an ear on the inside. The Crown Estate's official line is that they are redesigning the website and they will eventually have a 'final' response to the legal questions I have raised about so called 'Mines Royal'.
It won't be simple; the development and application of this obscure aspect of the law in Scotland and N Ireland and England and Wales are all very different, so there cannot be a one size fits all response. They haven't revealed when the position will be explained or interpreted (or possibly re-spun) on the website.
It is my guess that their lawyers are looking for loopholes, possibly that they have been getting away with a misapplication of government powers for so long that they are now a law unto themselves. Now that would set a very bad precedent, because then any government department could get away with murder.

Hummmm and the pudding thickens.  If only those links have been removed then me thinks that the redesign story is just so much "bovine scatology."

Indeed Dennis. The penny kind of dropped today. I wondered if the mining companies would rather pay up than allow any old (or young) cash strapped farmer to operate without official fetters? Better keep the product exclusive than care and share with local communities! Welsh gold may be relatively rare, compared to big California and Canada, but it is in many more locations than the authorities would like everyone to know. Few native Welsh now have the initiative, training or attitude to approach farmers and do the hard work to locate the hidden lodes.
