<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverlock, post: 3245600, member: 98181&quot;]Some archeologists want an outright ban private collecting. This guy seems quite reasonable in comparison: “He would appreciate an amendment that would allow the cooperation of professionals with amateur finders, as it works in many other countries.”</p><p><br /></p><p>The UK has a good system. Hoards over 10 coins must be reported. Museums get right of first refusal to purchase the coins. Either way the finder splits the wholesale fair market value with the land owner. Really cuts down on unreported finds. They still have problems with “nighthawks” in archaeological sites, but otherwise it works.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
