I hope someone can help me with this, We are going out to a site I believe may do well as the site of lost treasure(as well as gold).
It is also a very old ghost town that most have forgotten, so I believe I may find some relics there with any luck.
Anyway I have no issue handing over relics or artifacts if I find any (although if significant i would love to have my name put to a find lol - wishful thinking)
Asking in relation to not just VIC but also so I know incase I get to travel to SA or WA soon and came across things.
So wanted to ask just incase it is a dream trip, What is the protocol with relics and artifacts? Do I mark and notify? Do I take somewhere and log where I found it? if so where?and what if anything can i keep?
If I found say a jar of gold sovereigns, who does that belong to? Is it like jewellery or modern money find, take to police and if unclaimed it is mine? or is it the governments and too sad for me? or lucky me, finders keepers lol?
Thanks in advance
