<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 8314468, member: 77077&quot;]If there was no free market for ancient items, anything made of silver or gold would be melted and sold for scrap in any developing country. The only reason a lot of these artifacts still exist is because the finders knew they were worth money intact.</p><p><br /></p><p>The country which has the right laws is England. Look how many finds are found and reported, bought by museums when needed and generally documented properly. All these laws that say everything belongs to the state everything&#039;s going to get sent back to their originating country just result in more artifacts being destroyed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
