I think that MA tide the bombs to the owner. But if this is true in about 3 mo will have a continent full of bombs ...lol..

You can pick up lost bombs anywhere, at any time, whoever the owner may be.

The ones you are talking about are bugged bombs and cannot be picked up by anyone, not even the owner himself/herself.

Hope it helps

About those bugged bombs/probes:

I noticed and i talk for experience that miners lose bombs in 2 ways:

1st- They start a bomb but dont detonate it, for example a moob can aproach and he change weapon. But lets say that the miner pick up the bomb before changing to a weapon or any other tool, he got the bomb but when he switch back to the finder there is a bug that will drop instantly the previous bomb. Since the miner dont realize i might cancel the explosion thinking is a bug and he cant see the bomb because i got to far away. He uses a new bomb but the 1st one got behind. I think this today is almost fixed.

2nd- You drop a bomb but you are getting alot of lag, press detonate and nothing happens. You check your inventory and the bombs are blue, that mean they are waiting the lag to pass by. If you logout when you return the bomb is there but it gives you the msg "action denied". My experience says to me, to sit tight and wait for my computer restore the conection with the server. Just wait a bit and the bomb should deployed and you can resume.

The crapy thing is when the lag is not from the server but from your conection and you lose conection with PE, then you waste a bomb / probe.
