Did he have to hand it over? If so that sucks. The UK makes you give up anything you find, yet private collections are filled with artifacts. Rules for the rich I guess.
Of course. It belongs to the king. Everything belongs to the king!
The King can kiss my ass. I'm Canadian and I would spit on that pedophile, racist old fuck.
Museums and auction houses are filled to the brim with stolen shit and looted stuff, so you might as well not report any finds and melt down everything. Which is how archeological finds become secrets and science suffers because States are parasitic entities that want to claim ownership of anything convenient for bullshit reasons.
Umm... Ok?
