<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 698011, member: 66&quot;]Great Britain really has one of the BEST such laws.&nbsp; That percentage tends to be 100% of the fair market value for those pieces the museums want.&nbsp; If the museums decide that they don&#039;t need or want the items then they are returned to the finder.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t report finds and they find out about it later they will take the items and you may be fined as well.&nbsp; So you can&#039;t lose if you report finds, but you can lose badly if you don&#039;t report them.&nbsp; This encourages reports and proper investigation of the sites can then be done instead of just wanton looting of the sites.&nbsp; More countries should adopt similar laws because it would do more toward protecting sites and eliminating black markets than the outright confiscation tactics that many other countries use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
