<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 899834, member: 6763&quot;]Okay:</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the facts, in England the find of multiple coins, or whatever, is condiered trasure trove.</p><p>As such, it &#039;technically&#039; belongs to the crown.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, as such, the local museums or the government, have the right to purchase the item at &quot;fair market value&quot;.</p><p>Therefore, the government will acquire rights to the item-- but ONLY if they pay fair market value for it.</p><p>The finder &amp; the landowner split the proceeds (50:50). They are made whole. Theoretically, they do not lose anything.</p><p>There was one instance where the museum could not come up with the cash, so it (the coin) was sold at auction.</p><p>The buyer then sold it to an American buyer for a multiple of the price that he paid. The museum then had to pay the inflated price if they wanted it.&nbsp; Nice deal, and the museum was able to purchase it. The buyer made a nice profit.</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>um................</p><p><br /></p><p>okay, but lets consider that they died 400 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, no one said that they were disturbing the remains -- they were simply removing the silver coins.</p><p>The company is reputable and considerate of any human remains... if they still exist.</p><p>[which I doubt][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
