This is a question that strikes a personal note as another one of the members here will know.
There is a local ghost town that means quite allot to the community I live in. Now there have been allot of "treasure seekers" going in and finding artifacts and keeping them, even though we have a museum about this ghost town in the community. At the same time this ghost town is not one simply "lost to time" but is currently undergoing work to stabilize the old buildings, there is a campsite only a stone throws away, excavations by local citizens on behalf of the museum, etc.
Now allot of people are working hard to study this ghost town and the artifacts found certainly help put things into perspective.
So between kids using some of the logs from the old buildings as fire wood and people finding and keeping artifacts without donating them to the local museum things can get pretty hard for those trying to look after this historical site.
What are everyone's views on this?
