Oh, no you don't want that. Just ask Hank Hill what happened when Peggy found a supposed Native American artifact and the college tore up his immaculate yard.

Neah.
They have to hire an archeologist so that he can make a report that will determine if the state needs to seize the rest of their property as an archeological site.

Just like in Medieval times, when a person found a body, depending on the circumstances, they may be required to pay a finder’s fee.

So, best case scenario is that his back yard will be dug up and he’ll have to replant. Worst case scenario is they will say he is on a sacred Indian burial ground and evict him from his own home?

WTF did they count, tree bone rings? No. They looked at her pelvis.
Look for the pubic symphysis, which is the joint located in the pelvis. The older the person at death, the more pitted and craggy these bones will be. Forensic anthropologists will compare this against a database of standard markers to learn the age of the skeleton.

“Now if you find fresh gold, by all means, run to the EPA, media, etc. I'm sure the government is not as interested in the newer stuff.”
Don't be so sure. The USG confiscated 80 million worth of gold coins that a family found in their fathers safety deposit box. The coins were from the time when FDR confiscated all personal gold. The USG reasoning according to the article
“ Jacqueline Romero, assistant U.S. attorney in Philadelphia, explained that the coins legally belonged to the government after Franklin Delano Roosevelt ordered citizens to exchange their gold for cash in an effort to keep the banks afloat during the Great Depression.
Those coins were all in a vault and were supposed to be melted, she asserted.
In simpler terms “ we will tolerate no uppity peasants in possession of the Kings gold” so instead of SSS its MCS
Melt
Recast
Shut up

Smart policy.
Years ago, MI ran an ad campaign on TV - “If you see this endangered snake in your yard, call DNR, quick!”
I laughed so hard I cried.
