I am new at this...any advice on the finds...should I report them...are they worth anything. Thinking of calling a museum curator but I dont know if they'd have any interest.

Ugghhh hello do you have any pics. We would like to see em befrore the govt comes and cofiscates it all. I dont know what to tell ya to do. Why would you turn them in. Are they live or are they from some famous wreck you werent supposed to be diving on. Anything between low tide and the high tide mark or dune is fair game. If they are of historical importance you could file a treasure claim and turn them in . the state will take 20 percent and you get the rest. You have to fill out the paper work very carefully and do not sign away any rights to any of the items. Good luck and how about some pics
