"Interesting to see that despite having so many people plodding across the fields they only found 370 of the 500 tokens that had been deliberately buried."

Yes, that's strange isn't it. I guess the future archaeological record won't be a complete blank then. ;)

Archaeologists have been known to seed sensitive sites with washers, when repeated nighthawking has happened, but I believe that's generally considered not cricket, and pollution, so this seems a bit inconsistent.

Also, if half the fun of the event was a glorified Easter egg hunt then a less contraversial location might have done just as well. Like Kew Gardens for instance.
