If you should find an ancient artifact while visiting Israel, <i>by accident for example</i>, it must be turned over to the Israel Antiquities Authority. Only coins with Israel Antiquities Authority certification are allowed to be sold outside of the country. IAA approval takes several weeks and must be initiated by a IAA licensed dealer in antiquities. The law actually states that only artifacts found prior to 1978 may be exported so the answer to whether or not you can search for and keep any ancient coins that you may find is a definite no.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><i>Bert—I&#039;ve just emailed to you a list of Israel Antiquities Authority licensed dealers. I&#039;ve ordered from all of them and they&#039;re very trustworthy. I need to warn you that the process can take as long as six weeks.</i></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
