    Maybe it’s illegal, it’s vastly different from country to country but last time I checked finding treasure on your own property does not mean you own it 100%. Which i think is crazy but yea.

      Which is pretty fucking stupid because if a mining company finds loot, they’re allowed to go mine it for decades and make billions.

      I remember when we could “find” treasure currently owned by other civilizations and throw it on a boat, take it home and just claim it was “found”. Times change I guess.
