<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7464280, member: 100459&quot;]I mentioned earlier that there were not enough museums to display all the &quot;finds&quot;, let alone study them.&nbsp; They haven&#039;t finished studying the things that were found in the 50&#039;s.&nbsp; They just catalog them and store them.&nbsp; I doubt that there are many things that have not been recorded or entered into a computer.&nbsp; You have to remember, there have been people on this beautiful world for thousands of years.&nbsp; It would take an army of archeologists just to search these past thousand years.&nbsp; Many countries don&#039;t want the archeologist to come into their country and destroy their &quot;sacred&quot; places.&nbsp; Isn&#039;t the Noah&#039;s ark supposed to be on Mount &quot;Ararach&quot;? (My spellcheck didn&#039;t have a correct spelling.)&nbsp; I understand that the location of the ark is guarded by the country&#039;s army.&nbsp; Many countries are &quot;older than sin&quot; and they don&#039;t want to know if the legend of Dracula is true or not.</p><p>Now, if each country had a department that approves of people looking for &quot;bootie&quot;, maybe they will let you come into their country to look, and when you find something that is worth something, they will take it from you and put it into their &quot;storage&quot;.&nbsp; No matter how you look at &quot;finders/keepers&quot;, if you find something of value, they will take it away from you and sell it so they can &quot;fund&quot; their agency.&nbsp; I don&#039;t remember the exact detail, but a skeleton of a dinosaur was found on private property by some dinosaur bone hunters, that went to the courts of the land to determine who the &quot;bones&quot; belong to.&nbsp; It was finally determined that since the &quot;bones&quot; had been their for so long ago when their weren&#039;t any landowner at that time, that the bones were the property of the country.&nbsp; The judicial arm of the government took possession of the bones and bestowed the bones to the closest museum.</p><p>I asked a question long ago in this thread, has anyone found Jesse James&#039; gangs coins that were buried in the caves and the surrounding land?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
