And all this time we've been told what a perfect land
Canada is and that a story such as this only occurs in
the USA. How could such a thing be possible? Among
obvious problems, it's against the public interest because
it discourages anyone who finds a skeleton from calling
the police.

The bill would be 5,000 Pounds in England. ^_^

They should have just stuck it in their closet.

I think that's a stupid law.

There are places in this world, like Rome, Alexandria, Athens, Jerusalem and others where you can't dig without finding historical artifacts or human remains. Just because someone finds human bones, it doesn't mean they're of any significance.

Happens all the time in Europe including the UK.
Here's one costing millions. Literally.

God help you if you live near a church/other ancient building if you
live in the UK. You have to pay for a dig to make sure there's nothing
there if you want to extend your house.
Can cost £10,000 no problem at all.

I would guess that Roman era graves are found in the South all the time. ^_^

Well what if it was your great, great, great, great, great, great,

For a number of years after the Battle of Gettysburg, farmers kept
finding human bones when preparing the land for planting. Likely also
included bones from Calvary horses.

A friend's wife discovered a dead body floating of the pier where she
was heading to go sailing. Called police and it ruined her day with all
the hubbub.

I'd guess it's worse than that. When armies fought on the battle fields back then, they'd basically run at each other with spears and swords and hack each other to death. I really don't know if they would have gone to all the trouble of burying every casualty of the battle. I expect, in most cases, they just would have dumped the bodies in shallow graves, thrown them in the bush to rot, burned them after they'd dried out, or even let the wolves and wild dogs eat them. I expect there's lots of farmland throughout Europe that was the site of one battle or another over the last 3000 years where there are hundreds or even thousands of skeletons just a foot or two below the depth to which the ploughs cut.

Even recently, a farmer in England found a Roman treasure buried on his farmland. It was apparantly owned by a Roman governor who was killed before he could retrieve it or tell anyone where it was buried.

Should the person finding the bones ignore them, or should he/she notify
authorities who then would determine their importance?
The authorities should then be responsible for all costs resulting from
their investigation. Charging the property owner could deter people from
reporting other such findings.
The US government has probably spent millions of $$ looking for the body
of Jimmy Hoffa, and it is still going on today in Michigan.

He's probably buried in Ontario and that's why they don't want people
reporting found bones.

And all this time

All what time?

we've been told

Who's been telling you?

what a perfect land Canada is

Who said that?

and that a story such as this only occurs in the USA.

Who told you that?

Are you upset that Canada isn't the same as the fantasy that you
dreamed up, so you're trying to blame someone else for your fantasies?
Are you really that ****ing stupid? Yes!
