[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 1498419, member: 39"]Basically yes; that is why I wrote [i]"Don't see any reason why such finds should be, hmm, repatriated."[/i] In other words, if you find an ancient Roman coin in the ground, outside Italy, it is yours (or whatever the local law says about who the owner would be) and not property of the Italian government. Side note: If I find a coin in the UK, I may be the rightful owner ... or not: "Finders have no ownership rights to any find they make in Scotland" [url]http://www.treasuretrovescotland.co.uk/[/url] But I know hardly any details about this; guess that our British members could help out here. In the meantime, let's replace "in the UK" with "in England and Wales". ;) Christian[/QUOTE]
