Jadle (The Philippines)
The Philippines government gets 30% of treasure finds on private land and 50% on public lands and in the ocean. Land owners expect 30%. Unmarked gold bullion is the best find, then coins and uncounted gems. However, any find that has significant historical or archeological value must be turned over to the government, which will then decide how much the finder's reward will be.

About 52,500 Roman coins were found in a large pot by a British treasure hunter Dave Crisp using a metal detector in a field in southwest England, one of the largest treasure hoards ever found in Britain.[Photo/IC] |
