The rules as I understand them are (I may be wrong and this is a very short version) you have to turn over any finds to the state then they are entitled to 1/2 of your find or that amount in cash. I don't know the legal terms but I was told this is how it works. My feelings, if this is accurate, is if you find one or 2 pieces, they can take them and give you 1/2 their value, but I would rather have the piece for my collection, and you don't get to decide which piece they keep or if you get just the cash. Again, this is only what I've been told by collectors so if it is wrong I would like to find out as well so if someone knows I'd love to find the facts.
