If a state has a staute on lost property, it overrides the treasure trove law. Most states have one on the books.

I think tht dholland would gladly offer help if asked for, and return an identifiable thing (like a class -ring for instance), and ... yes .... even open doors for little old ladies. But I think what he was saying is he's not going to mess with such steps for things with no markings whatsoever (run found ads, etc...).
If I'm wrong, and he'll make no attempt at class rings either, then even then, I would not fault him, as this is the course of some who've had bad experiences doing it (I had a friend who had the police called on him, d/t it turned out the ring had been stolen in a home burglary, so now my friend was a suspect by the police, and the police weren't buying his "I found it" story, after my friend had tried to make contact with the student!).
But, no, I didn't interpret Dholland's comments to mean he'd never help someone, or return identifiable items, or keep things he'd been commissioned to hunt for.
I'm sad you feel that way. I find it one of those most rewarding parts of the hobby.I bought my detector to benefit me, not to be providing a service to everyone who has lost something.

We spent an hour and a half to 2 hours and finally one of us found it. He promised a $200 reward and the finder refused payment, as I think all of us would have, merely saying he was now just owed a favor.
That's the world I live in and I like it like that.
I find keeping the find rewarding....I'm sad you feel that way. I find it one of those most rewarding parts of the hobby.
That is right if you know were to find the person then give it back.......... But i am not going out of my way to find a owner...............To post adds , check with the cops , Make it my life's work , If i get it and look at it and it don't have a name on it.............. " IT"S MINE " ALL MINE :::::: But if i do know who it belongs to and that person is a snoob . or A jerk .... It is still MINEUr right Tom, all I ment was I'm not going outta my way to track someone down. If It's a class ring and Ita someone I know or hear of someone lost it I'd turn it Over but I'm not posting adds or tuning it over to the cops. Same with at the beach. But if someone offers me money for finding it u bet I'll take it no if ands or buts.
Sounds like you are just trying to get everyone ticked off with your comments...if what your saying is really how you feel, good luck with life because its going to be tough on you. People that keep saying they dont care what someone thinks about them, usually care the most.Some of you people tuning down reward money r simply nuts. Look at the price of ur detector and the time u put in lookin for stuff. Some say "oh the joy is the reward" give me a break we all know money talks and BS walks no ones turning money down
... lookindown .. I hate to say this but i don't care......... If i find something and then do not try to find the owner ...... I am happy about that no matter what anyone thinks.......... You could call me careless......... That's not right for then i would be the one that lost the item you guys find............ You get it to lose a item i would be careless..Sounds like you are just trying to get everyone ticked off with your comments...if what your saying is really how you feel, good luck with life because its going to be tough on you.

I only have one question.... What the heck is a meat bee?
...Yes but you might not know this but...George was wrong sometimes....And why should i care what any one on the net thinks i really don't know them....... So why should i care what someone thinks that i don't know...........The only forums i go on are treasure forums....... I don't go on facebook or twitter . oh yes i do go on the aboristsite.com .... That is for ones that trim & cut down trees and talk about chainsaws..........And that is all i do in forums....... I don't care what you think i don't care i really don't care ..........and as my buddy ...Ric would say.............................................................................................................................................................................BOOM BABY>. I don't care i don't care ..... so now you think i care ..... but i don't care...... You know i could be a song writer....i got a new profession.......... oh my god i am a song writer now............As George Carlin would say, "People who say they don't care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don't care what people think."
