Hard to go wrong with a margin of error like that.

You can agree or disagree, but on the major (navigable) rivers in Tennessee, shoreline is owned by TVA or the Corps of Engineers, and it is against federal law to pick up Indian artifacts from this federal property. I was surprised at the article, because an action such as this in my neck of the woods would get you a hefty fine.

This would be permitted on private land as long as there was no excavation or historical areas or gravesites.

This creep needs a whopping fine and/or jail time to teach him this simple lesson:

You cannot steal our heritage from our property for your shoebox.

Eh. If it were important to you, you wouldn't leave it lying around.

The legal world is the real world. As a man said when he came to my window, 'I am here representing the public.' I said, 'You'll find the Representive of the Public in his office on the fourth floor. He has a sign on his door--Mayor.'

Government owns the land and the citizens being forbidden to pursue certain harmless activities without the kings bureaucrats permission.

The land of the free. Humph!!

Didn't know that. But seeing as how you gave me a choice - I would have to say I vehemently disagree.

I would flush it down the toilet before I let the "government" or "Indian group" take it from me.

Wonder what beauracrtic lawyer has penned, probably not a Happy New Year card to the discoverers of this wonderful piece of American history?

You have a point. Private citizens have no rights on public land except what the Public Agency grants by permit.

There is no such thing as "public property." It is a contradictions of the concept of property itself. It is collectivist and statist idea that is one of the many corrupting the foundations of America.

Then, maybe that's what you intend.

My son hunts indian artifacts several days out of a year. I know how he would have handled a find like that. VERY QUIETLY!

And how do you feel about the old southern cannon ball I found recently? It was in the same general area as a number of Indian artifacts that were found. Is that part of your heritage? Or do I need to find some "son of the confederacy" to give it to?
