I'm a little puzzed as to why these things take so long to determine if it only takes soil samples to clarify the situation. Money yes as Nigel hinted at but surely not that much!
Coring is a little more involved than taking a soil sample. There had to be interest from the landowner and a will to know the answer, and a study (so part of a specific question). In this case someone had to offer to carry out the work and someone else had to write a cheque for over £20,000.
