They fscked Mel Fisher, big time...
I REALLY like what I've heard about Englands "Treasure Trove" Laws... they don't PUNISH people for finding things!
Sure, there are requirements to protect the archaeological significance of finds, and reporting, and taxes, etc...
But they allow people to be compensated for their finds!
Unlike US law, where more often than not, the Government (Federal, State, or Local) claims it ALL.
