The problems with digging (and finding artifacts) in your own yard…at least in the UK:
On 25 February a Ludlow woman became the first person in the UK to face the full wrath of the Treasure Act for failing to report an ancient artefact find.Kate Harding, 23, pleaded guilty to breaching the act, was given a three month conditional discharge and ordered to hand over an artefact almost 700 years old.
The story is sketchy on facts, but it appears that the woman brought the object in to a museum either after the required time period, or perhaps she tried to sell it directly to the museum.
