<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 8002207, member: 84179&quot;]The British Portable Antiquities Scheme for reporting finds seems to work really well. The finders get the coins or value.&nbsp; Archeologists get the location so they can study the site in detail before any significant disturbance. The museums get the artifacts if they are significant.&nbsp; It sounds like a win for everyone.&nbsp; I wonder why the archeology community isn&#039;t pushing for this across the rest of Europe and the middle east?</p><p><br /></p><p>Portable antiquities site</p><p><a href="https://finds.org.uk/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://finds.org.uk/" rel="nofollow">https://finds.org.uk/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[yes, I know why some Archeologists refuse to acknowledge the success of the British system.&nbsp; They feel that they should be they only ones capable of making the finds, yet alone study them.&nbsp; And God forbid common artifacts should go to the great unwashed masses, when they could be rotting away away in museum basements waiting decades for elite archeologists to find time to study them]</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
