London -When we say "treasure," what comes into our mind are the precious objects being haunted and searched by the finders who looking for a better fortune. We have the lost arch of exodus, the Yamashita lost treasure and many more.
The United kingdom is now proposing the definition of the so-called "treasure" in order to protect the country's collections of rare artifacts that are mostly kept at the British Museum
With the creation of 1996Treasure act, The Great Britain defined treasure as legally and speaking narrowly with findings that are designated as such they're more than 300 years old, made of gold or silver or found alongside artifacts containing precious metals. Once reported as treasure, it becomes a property of state and finders are legally required to turn over the artifacts to the government or authorities for public display at national or local museum.
This limited definition will not include array of rare artifacts making them available to sell to private collectors or even the black market which is a major loss to the public. To avoid such situation, British culture minister Caroline Dineage has announced the major change that will expand and modify the 25 year definition of treasure beyond artifacts' materials qualities making it easier for museum to both aquire and protect the national heritage items and to them available for the next generation.
