Salvage Law on Treasure Trove

Salvage law regarding treasure trove involves legal rights to recover lost or abandoned valuables, like coins or artifacts, found on land or underwater. If someone discovers a treasure, they may claim ownership, but this can depend on local laws. Typically, finders must report their discovery to authorities. If the treasure is deemed abandoned and not owned by anyone, the finder may keep it, often sharing rights with the property owner. These laws balance the interests of the finder, property owner, and the state, encouraging the recovery of historical artifacts while protecting legal ownership.
