Court held plaintiffs did not acquiesce and were entitled to damages for wrongful use; damages were assessed by estimating an annual rental of the whole property (7% of land value $810,000 = $56,700), multiplying by the claim period (8.34 years = $472,878), discounting by 75% to reflect subsurface nature (divide by four) to yield $118,220, plus interest from 3 July 2004 to date of judgment and costs.
