This contest is fueled by the following news:
Treasure – It is the money or some valuable items either buried in earth or hidden by some different method whose owner is not known and cannot be found, or has lost the rights on them.
Under the British laws, the found treasure belongs to the state; the person who finds the treasure has to inform the state bodies about it within 14 days, and if one fails to do so, this attracts criminal proceedings against him. The state may pay monetary compensation, established by independent experts (usually, equally to the treasure hunter and to the owner of land), or return the treasure to the treasure hunter.
In USA, there are different legislations on treasures in different states. In most of the states, the treasure found in the private land usually belongs to the person who finds it; in other states (for example, in Idaho and Tennessee), the treasure always belongs to the owner of the land; and in Louisiana, the treasure is shared equally among the treasure hunter and the land owner. The treasure, which is more than hundred years old, if found in the federal land is considered to have archaeological importance and thus belongs to the federal authorities.
