We go in-depth with the Mishna's 4 steps. The question, answer, statement and the other statement.
מצא פירות...קב בארבע אמות
Lines  24-25
The Gemara begins with speaking about what is considered scattered fruit and when should you return it and when can you keep it.
היכי דמי...ולא מפקר להו
Lines  25-32
The Gemara explains an easier way of knowing if the owner gave up hope or not.
בעי רבי ירמיה...לא מפקר להו
Lines  32-43
The Gemara goes through two of the four questions asked by R' Yirmeya
קב שומשמין...תיקו
Lines  43-50
The Gemara goes through the remaining two questions asked by R' Yirmeya and comes to a conclusion.
The gemara mentioned that a measurement of 1 kav of fruits (wheat kernels) in an area of 4 Amos belong to the finder. How about 1/2 of a kav of fruits in an area of two amos? Or two kav in eight amos? Or one kav of something very small like sesame seeds in an area of four amos? Or one kav of something very large like pomegranates in four amos?
