Hello All,
I seriously recommend reading the following book "The Treasure Hunter's Guide To The Law" by Clair Martin Christensen, LL.B. This is quite informative in regard to what we do for our Hobby or Treasure Hunting Business.
In it is a guide to what Treasure is and the five major terms: Lost Property, Mislaid Property, Abandoned Property, Stolen Property and Finder.
It really opened up my eyes in regard to TREASURE TROVE. Rights of a finder against another including special statutes, the Antiquities Act of 1906, Trespass, Mining Claims, Income Tax, Contracts with states, Partnerships, Liability and more. I know the book is hard to find and I am fortunate to have this copy which is a treasure in itself.
Its not worth breaking the law to find a treasure that you may not be able to keep and could potentially get you thrown in jail or sued and loose what was found.
Find a copy and read it.
Be Safe, Be Aware.
Regards
LUE-Hawn
