Discovering Artefacts on Property

I was just watching some interesting videos about artefact discoveries in your property or home.
What came to mind was interesting and depending on what state and country I presume the law would be different, but my question is.

If you found and dug up some milllion years old worth of historical artefacts in your home made of diamonds and gold, would you sell it? Keep it? or surrender it to the authorities or archaeologist?

      What kind of drugs artefacts would Flintstones era bikies have had? Psychedelic pterodactyl poop?

  • I'd check who purchased the land and pays the council rates and land tax for that property and distribute accordingly. Then I'd hit Vegas.

    Modern humans have only been around for about 200,000 years, and civilisation has only been in existence for about 6000 years. Cave paintings and ancient tools would fit in that range, and I guess they're artifacts, although they're not made of diamonds and gold.

    But millions of years? Were these historical artifacts made by dinosaurs?

    • Now, now. It's "milllion years old worth of historical artefacts". The 'worth' changes everything.
