This is not true, I worked as an archaeologist for 12 yrs.. Artifacts always go to the land owner.. They be taken for research for a period of time ( with the ownersJoe(TX) said:.................Yes, I would like to be a part of an Archeological Dig too!! You threw me when you said that the owner of the ranch kept the find! Usually all of the finds in an Archeological Dig goes to either the State or the Federal Government!!............I could relate............my Dad years ago told a homeowner that he wanted to hunt their homesite and we would give them everything that we found!! It was one of the hardest experiences that I have ever done in TH'ing!!............NEVER AGAIN...............except maybe for a State Sponsored Dig!!..............JOE
I'd be embarrassed to show my best after the stuff y'all posted.
