A few weeks ago went on our beach with my MD to pull out more nails, lures and other things that might cause the neighbor kids to have a really bad day walking on the beach or swimming when the water level comes back up. I was digging up an old beer can when I found a broken piece of pottery on the sandy beach about 1 inch square that may or nay not be of Native American origin.
I started thinking... As a kid we used to run in the fields near here and collect artifacts... but that was 40 some years ago and we were kids.
What is the law regarding artifacts on private property in Illinois and Iowa? What if I find something while incidentally digging a nail out of the sand?
Tnx and happy hunting, all!
