Approach

Here's how to report an archaeological find:

Description

You must report archaeological finds. For example, if you have found very old coins or vases in a construction pit. You must also report if you have found ancient objects underwater. For example, parts of a shipwreck. Anything you find underwater, you must leave there.

Do you have a metal detector? With this you may only excavate objects in the top 30 centimeters of the ground. You need permission from the landowner. Do you find something special? Report it to municipality. Is it special and old, from before 1946? Then also report it to the State Service for Cultural Heritage.
