<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1036380, member: 22004&quot;]I have seen a treasure hunter trolling for rings and jewelry at a public swimming area. He told me he earns for than $50 an hour using his metal detector and other equiptment. He doesn&#039;t have any moral obligation to turn the items into &quot;lost and found&quot;, unless someone had posted signs indicating he/she had lost an item of great value in which case they probably would have hired someone to search for it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the case of a hoard like this, a story which is covered in Coin World today, a good faith effort should be made to see what the source of the coins were and to find the family, because there are a number of circumstances where it would be morally wrong to take what is not yours. &quot;Finder&#039;s keepers&quot; is a child&#039;s saying, the law has developed for good reasons so that fraud is minimized.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
