I don't know what Sweden's laws are regarding finds like this. I know that in Britain, the government can keep the objects and pays some award to the property owners.

I wish it would not be the same situation in Sweden. I prefer that the guys could keep what he had found.

Oh, I read a little more carefully and they were at the Lund battlefield. Maybe they were on public land when they found it.
