Say what but then in the EU that would be treasure trove... On a side note he should have mailed them to himself....

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.
