    That said, there’s a pretty good chance the landfill owner and all their employees have been ransacking that place to beat him to it.

    They aren’t because, as I said, they can’t do it. And even if they found it, they couldn’t keep it.

    And the landfill owner is the local government.

      That’s assuming they’re following the letter of the law. If I worked there and happened upon that drive, and it turned out to be viable, I’d disappear very quickly.

        It’s assuming people would notice a landfill being dug up. Since, again, that isn’t legal to do.

          Aye, but I’m talking about those working at said landfill, and I do believe there’s a huge predication within this conversation that all participants are fully law abiding folks, even marginally. Not saying you’re wrong in any sense, but I’m just on about the gray area of individuals employed by said landfill just keeping a keen eye open for a potentially valuable little box and then running off into the sunset should they happen on it. Pure speculation, of course.
