Hi Bill, I can't read your newspaper clipping, but maybe the laws there lay claim to the treasure and would get him into trouble if it wasn't reported! Our Gov't claims they own all treasure on both public and private land and try to get every penny they can from we citizens one way or another way by stealing it from the owners of the property and by taxation along with fines and surcharges! :angry: :rolleyes: May God Bless! Amen :angel: Ma Betty
 
Go figure
 
How about the laws in Great Britain regarding treasure hunters? Haven't been there either but, from what I read, treasure hunters there have to give up what they find also. Sure makes you appreciate the country we live in doesn't it? Happy finds ladies & gentlemen.

It is interesting the negative responses to this treasure found article. The laws of Syria probably require that you do turn in things like this person found, with the option of extended prison time if caught with the coins. Foreign prisons are not the nicest from what I have read in the paper from people who have been incarcerated in them.

In Great Britain the finder is required to turn in all things found that MAY be of historical significance. The local antiquities authorities then thoroughly research it through ALL channels to find out if there is significant historical value, submitting it to several universities and museums for verification. If it is of great historical value, it will be sold to an institution and the proceeds of the sale split equally between the finder and land owner. If it is not of a significant, it will be returned usually to the finder.

Personally, there is NOTHING worth the loss of my freedom except our Lord Jesus Christ.
