A Woman Was Imprisoned Years Later for Finding a Strange Coin When She Was Just Nine Years Old!

The Act About Treasures

In 1996, this statute was enacted by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Everyone who comes across an object that they believe may be a treasure is required by law to report their find to the appropriate authorities as soon as possible.

In addition to that, you must act by this legislation. In addition, the Treasure Act of 1996 requires that any person who comes across an object that is at least three centuries old, is made up of at least 10% precious metals, and is not a coin, must report their find to the local coroner within fourteen days of making the discovery (14 days).

Because Kate was still a child then, she passed up a chance to educate herself on legal matters, even though she ought to have done so.
