Well, there are some lessons to learn in this. First, as you suggest, it's important to make sure we protect our finds from those who would take them or want to punish us for having them. Second, it's important to know the applicable laws where you are hunting to ensure you know when to protect yourself from those who would take your finds or punish you for having them. Stick to the code: Finders Keepers.
