There has for a long time been a legal duty to report finds of treasure to the authorities; a coroner will then conduct an inquest to determine wether the treasure was lost (and thus the property of the crown) or hidden with a view to recovery, in which case the coroner must try to trace the owner or any surviving legal heirs.</p><p>If its obvious there is no owner the finder gets to keep it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its a pretty good system and very fair.</p><p>My cousin reports around 10 finds a year and he`s been awarded ownership on every one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
