<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 13309699, member: 26302"]I truly do commiserate about looting of antiquities. However, Treasure Trove law in the UK works well. Many time important sites can be identified, digs begun, from the information the coroners compile from voluntary disclosures. To persecute a farmer tilling up a hoard of coins, and giving them zero percent incentive to work with the government, simply works against all human nature. Emulate UK laws and collectors benefit, archeologists benefit, land owners benefit. The only losers, like I said before, are those who pilfer government property for their own personal gain, as well as all humanity by the information that will be lost. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do not punish landowners, economically incent them, for best long term results. Capitalism may suck to some, but it is better than all other economic methods ever tried, just like Democracy is the worst form of government except for all others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
