If an object of value is found in circumstances indicating with certainty that it has lain buried or hidden so long that it will not be possible to trace its owner, it is treated as treasure trove.
Subject to the provisions governing objects of scientific value, treasure trove belongs to the owner of the land or chattel where it was found.
The finder is entitled to an appropriate finder’s reward not exceeding one-half of the treasure’s value.
