<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Slim Pickins, post: 824082, member: 23738&quot;]Bringing back war trophies has always been a touchy subject. That was an interesting article though. Me personally, I think if I was a contractor in a foreign country and found an ancient coin or artifact I would have probably done the same thing...except after bringing it back I surely wouldn&#039;t have told anyone or tried to donate it...hahhaa! Wow..and to think, this guy was just trying to donate a coin to be put on display and got stabbed in the back! I&#039;m sure he didn&#039;t know he was commiting a crime or he wouldn&#039;t have tried to donate it. I personally don&#039;t see anything wrong with doing a little treasure hunting. If I were deployed to Iraq I might as well do just as much digging as shooting. I think that Americans need to be better informed of international laws concerning such things. Some countries allow it where other countries would consider it looting. My advice to anyone thinking about bringing back war trophies would be to do your homework and respect the laws of whatever country you are in. Ancient artifacts are everywhere and it&#039;s really not worth it to put your freedom on the line for a few trinkets![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
