<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 8166811, member: 44316&quot;]We read about finds and compensation in England many times a year. How come we almost never hear about hoards found in France and &quot;fair compensation&quot;? Is it because it happens and our media emphasizes English over French? (Some of us can read French and would love to read about French finds.) Or, is it because reporting and compensation for French finds rarely happens?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I remember reading many years ago about a German finder of a large hoard of Roman gold (on the order of 1000 pieces, I recall) who got compensation from the government amounting to about 7 DM per piece. (My numbers may be a bit off, but the point is correct.) That&#039;s not a lot of encouragement to report the next find. </p><p><br /></p><p>If someone can provide a link to a report of a French (or anywhere else, for that matter) find that mentions compensation we would be interested.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
