inter alia Bona Vacantia
Bona Vacantia in England is https://www.gov.uk/government/organisati...a-vacantia but in England because of context being referenced to land ownership the objects belong to the landowner to do with. In Scotland there is an office called the Queen's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer and they lump portable antiquities into treasure trove possibly the putting of value on to non gold or silver objects. Have they ever done that hosty? http://www.qltr.gov.uk/sites/default/fil...%20(3).pdf
In Scotland they seem to take portable antiquities to the criminal level:
Found portable antiquities must be reported to the Crown by the Finder through the
TreasureTrove Unit or an appropriate intermediary (e.g. a museum). Misappropriation of
found portable antiquities is the crime of theft and dishonest dealing in such items is the
crime of reset, or receiving stolen property. Failure to report the Finding of portable
antiquities or the removal of found portable antiquities from Scotland (including to
elsewhere in the United Kingdom) may provide evidence of misappropriation. Cases of
apparent dishonesty will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal or Police for investigation and
consideration of criminal proceedings. Offences are punishable by a Fine or a term of
imprisonment or both.
So I imagine hosty that the LPAs would be very certain to put a statement in about ownership OR do they just consider the IFA statement only applicable to England and Wales?
Just out of interest hosty, in Scotland as the ownership lies with the crown does that make the reporting of the context irrelevant?
Beamo Which LPAs don't issue briefs?
