What do members think ?

Definitely NOT an innocent mistake. He's an experienced diver and has dived at various locations around the world. He knows the rules. This time he got caught. No sympathy for him.

Thanks KKOB - I hadn't read about that he is an experienced diver.

In which case I would tend to agree with you.

(PS Did I really just say that  )

If it was him that found the coins and not his children then it would look like he's trying to cover himself, if he has dived around the world then yes he knows the rules so I agree no sympathy. PS it's nice to see you two bonding

It must be the after effects of the group hug from the other day.......

Lovely to see Highlander and KKOB bonding. A small group hug needed.

Back on topic please.

From what I read he is an ambulance driver who does snorkelling as a hobby. I am wondering what I would have done if I had found  old coins anywhere in Turkey. I really have no idea what the correct procedure is if you find a few coins. I think if it was something like a vase or a statue I would have gone to the police but not sure if it was a few old coins. I hope he is not held in Turkey for too long.

Why - I would have thought the chances of finding coins was far greater and their historical value would be worthy in their own right.
