<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 2373035, member: 77704"]I think its more like a "collective farm" that actually works, not to be confused with the USSR example that was a disaster. But in Israel, the state owns artifacts that are found on both public and private land. Great Britain definately has the best options. I remember someone in my profession was weeding their flowerbed, while cultivating the earth, up came a AV Aureus of Carausius! Well, unlike myself who would have added it to my coll./ this person was not interested....and she had it auctioned off for 450,000 UK Pounds. The British Museum had first crack at it...burt could not afford it. So, it went to someone with deep pockets, and good taste. Strange as it may seem, I have maintained flowerbeds as infinitum, never found any coin....not even a penny! Born UNLUCKY I guess.</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
