Yeah hell, just let anyone scavenge the relics of the past off public property. What the hell--first come first served I guess.

I recall visiting a ghost town in Arizona back in the sixties. There were these porcine couples literally shovelling refuse into the back of their station wagons and driving off.

Just because someone dropped it a century ago, doesn’t make it government property! Finder keepers. :p

A ghost town is an intentional relic for people to visit. These things would have just remained under the water. What the heck is the point of them staying there? Are they on the government’s balance sheet, ready to be handed over to China when they call the welfare debt in?

Would it have been OK if they were lean and muscular? What if one were fit and the other were pudgy?
