<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 107703, member: 25&quot;]The British scheme specifies that the finder gets full market value for the find, or keeps the find if no museum is interested in paying for the item. Usually the land owner gets half of the value, the finder half unless some previous arrangement was made.</p><p><br /></p><p>This means that it is quite possible most items do get registered, most importantly the finders do not have a powerful incentive to cheat. Denmark does not seem to think a powerful incentive to cheat is a bad idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>This article links to the Treasure Act, 1996 as well. Most people seem to think it is pretty fair.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Antiquities_Scheme" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Antiquities_Scheme" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Antiquities_Scheme</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
