Did a hole in your own backyard and tell them you found it there.

That doesn't seem like it would matter either. It's a shame, but the only way to have kept it would be to melt it.

Over there they still claim to own everything, even if buried in your backyard.

Europe doesn’t quite have the private property rights of America.

In Rhineland-Palatinate searching with a metal detector is a minor offence, but taking the find is a criminal matter under property laws. Not telling authorities about the find can lead to a fraud prosecution, while selling it on can end in a charge for dealing in stolen goods.

Sounds like he should have just left it buried. You get punished for finding something.
