    So what happens when you report it? Do they confiscate it, or do you get to keep it?

    In my state by law it is illegal to dig or keep anything that could be considered a relic or is 100 years old or more on non private lands. So technically if for example you dig a 1916 penny at the park you are supposed to put it back where you found it or face criminal charges. Been many rrports about this here such as a parent threatened with prosecution because his young child was collecting "pretty rocks" at a state park. Another was a gentleman I was chatting with just the other day who's son was fired from his construction job and threatened with criminal charges because he had collected some indian arrowheads he found during a bridge construction job. It's the attitude of our government that they own everything and our archaeologists would rather things be destroyed or left never found if they can't have the items for themselves. (Actually said this way from a prior state archaeologist who got this law passed)

    If the goverment take the finds or charge you the are verry wrong!
    If the goverment want to save history the beter work together.
    Or nobody will record there finds.
    And history will be lost. To bad for you guy's.
    And not a smart rule.

    This year my goverment made metal detecting official legal here. If you find something older then 1500 you have to report it.
    The subscribe the place and find and then you can take it home with you.

    Correction, the law puts a limit of 50 years old, not 100.
