My guess if it Happened Today, He'd be threatened with Arrest for Removing it from National Park Property,
In order to get him to Forget he Found it.

it would be Fought over by the National Park & Whoever gets Contraband / Drug money

That was around the Time I was there as a child
- 1960's and no one who should have known could tell me if detectors were allowed
