<p>[QUOTE=&quot;reader, post: 2247182, member: 255&quot;]And IMO all of that is understandable and I bet you learned from this experience which is the most important part. In this case I don’t think you destroyed anything of significant value either. The board wouldn’t have jumped on you in quite the same way had you not openly said that you had no interest in archaeology. That statement shows a total lack of respect to all that archive and research their items regardless of their intent to just use their find for personal gain, entertainment,</p><p>or historic reference.</p><p><br /></p><p>The biggest issue here IMO which Im not sure was already mentioned is that you must find out if you have legal access to treasure hunt where you did. That land belongs to someone whether it be the government or private land. The laws regarding this vary by country but you basically need permission to hunt with a detector.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pulling something out of the ground is way different than stumbling on a find at a garage sale. For all you know that piece could be the first to work it’s way up from a site containing other materials. It really needs to be documented. It’s the right thing to do if not for you, then for others. Bring the ring to your local museum and learn the laws for treasure hunting on the land of others in your country.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
